Yield curve inversion is often regarded by investors as a leading indicator of likely recessions. In this model, the likelihood of a U.S. recession is estimated by the U.S. yield curve spread (difference in yields between the U.S. 10-year Treasury Note and the U.S. 3-Month Treasury Bill) using a probit model. Drawing on data of past probabilities that are based on the U.S. yield curve spread, each yield curve spread has fitted a probability of predicting a recession in the next 12 months. Users can view historical data of U.S. yield curve spreads and their corresponding predicted likelihood of recession, each as a time-series.
