FED’s chart on possibility of recession
The New York Fed’s recession probabilities model looks at the slope of the yield curve—specifically, the difference between 10-year and 3-month Treasury rates—to estimate the probability the U.S. will be in recession 12 months from now. As of last week, the model suggests there’s a 57% chance of a recession next January.
