How to Spot Real Systemic Risk in US Markets

408
How do you spot real systemic risk in the US stock market?

It happens when the yield curve inverts. An example occurred in 2022 when short-term borrowing costs, like the 2-year yield (in yellow), exceeded longer-term borrowing costs, like the 10-year yield (in orange).

When the yield curve inverted, the 2022 stock market entered a bear market. The Nasdaq collapsed by 37%. Once the yield curve began normalizing in 2024, US markets broke above their 2021 highs. The markets then resumed the upward trend seen today.
