True, but the trend is clearly in that direction and it got there faster than ever.

As for the 3mo to 10y spread, I mention that in the text. The3mo rate is still at 50bps

It usually closely follows the Fed funds rate, so this spread won’t go down until after at least a few rake hikes this year.

This makes the 3mo10y spread a lagging rather than leading indicator
