New York (WBAP/KLIF) – In the early minutes of trading on Wall Street this morning, the Dow gained 100 points, a day after dropping 800 as all three major indices hit their lowest levels so far this year on fears of an impending recession.
Meantime, global stock markets fell sharply Thursday in the wake of Wall Street woes on Wednesday.
Investors have been eyeing new developments in the U.S. bond market, which on Wednesday focused on the fact the yield — or interest rate — on the benchmark 10-year Treasury bond dropped briefly below the two-year Treasury’s yield for the first time since 2007.
Such stats have predicted five previous recessions.
