Yield Curve Steepening: After a prolonged period of yield curve inversion since July 2022, the yield curve has returned to positive territory as of December 2024, with the 2-year/10-year spread at +0.33%, indicating potential for further steepening due to favorable economic data and increased Treasury issuance.
Investment Opportunities: Fixed income investors are advised to focus on short- to intermediate-term corporate bonds, particularly in the 1–5-year segment, as they currently offer a favorable risk-reward tradeoff, with recommended ETFs including iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (LQD) and Vanguard Short-Term Corporate Bond ETF (VCSH).
