Investors Are Concerned About Global Recession

The US dollar is moving in different directions against a basket of currency majors despite the weakness of the US economy. The US bonds yield curve has become inverted for the first time since 2007, indicating a possible recession in the US economy. It means that the two-year US government bonds yield rose above the standard 10-year government bonds yield. Experts forecast that the economic growth in the country may slow down so much that the Fed is likely to be forced to stimulate economic growth by lowering interest rates. At the same time, the US dollar index (#DX) closed the trading session in the positive zone (+0.20%).
