Have long-term yields peaked, or just paused?
Traders work before the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on August 14, 2019 in New York City. - It was an ugly day for Wall Street, as stocks plummeted Wednesday amid worsening economic fears after US Treasury yields briefly inverted, flashing a warning sign for a coming recession. But US President Donald Trump once again blamed the Fed for the economic woes and the yield curve inversion, saying the US central bank is a bigger threat than China and is "clueless." The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 3.1 percent to finish at 25,479.42, a loss of about 800 points -- its worst day of 2019. (Photo by Johannes EISELE / AFP)JOHANNES EISELE/AFP/Getty Images
