LONDON (Reuters) - The U.S. yield curve was inverted for the second straight trading session on Thursday, as investors' concerns that the world's biggest economy could be heading for recession deepened. (US2US10=RR)

Two-year U.S. borrowing costs fell below 10-year costs for the first time since 2007 on Wednesday, and the gap between the two was last at -0.91 basis points on Thursday.

Thirty year U.S. Treasury yields hit a new low of 1.98% (US30YT=RR), having fallen 27 basis points this week, the biggest one-week fall since May 2012.

The yield curve is not staying inverted as in past lead up to recession. 6.23 am 2yr 1.518 10yr 1.532. If stays below constantly for months then maybe a recession is possible, otherwise talk is all speculation and fear mongoring.
Markets will rise. Its good opporutunity to buy stocks at lower rates.
