OpEdNews - Article: The Yield Curve Twists Again

As I explained in my article "The Yield Curve Twist Omen" long-term yields have been undervalued for an extended period of time. Although that undervaluation can last an extended period of time once the arbitrage has started it can reach its fair value very quickly. This article is meant to bring further evidences of the fact that this Twist is in the making, which I have called since August 24^th "The Nemesis of Long-Term Yields"

I explained in these articles that a twist of the yield curve from a grossly undervalued configuration to a fair valuation was in the way:

The orange yield curve is the recent lowest yield curve (on August, 25^th).The green yield curve is the expected, almost normal, yield curve (on Sept 17^th).

Runaway Gaps:

On Friday we made a fantastic Runaway Gap from Thursday between 2.639% and 2.650%.

Other Supporting Evidences:

I remind you that this Twist of the yield curve does not come from any macro economic reason but only as a dynamic return of the yield curve from a formidably undervalued configuration to its fairly valued configuration.

Prove is that in getting that reversal we didn't get extraordinarily good macro economic figures: they were just as bad as usual. The reaction to Jackson Hole meeting which in other times would have crushed down long-term yields had just the opposite effect.

Economic Expectations:

The Federal Reserve System will necessarily misinterpret that steepening of the yield curve:
