It's the weekend!
Grab a cup of coffee, in this thread I will explain
1. What is a Yield Curve?
2. Why is it an important indicator of Recession?
3. Is an Economic Recession around the corner?
Lets dive right in!

A bond is a fixed income financial instrument which represents a loan made by an investor to a borrower
The investor typically receives payment in the form of interest and a lumpsum (principal) on maturity
The interest rate on a bond is known as coupon rate.

1. Zero Coupon : Pays both interest and principal at maturity
2. Sovereign Bonds : Issued by a Government or a Quasi Government Institution
3. Corporate Bonds : Issued by corporate like banks, established companies etc.

The higher the credit worthiness of the issuer, the lower the coupon rate
Credit Rating on a Bond is usually assigned by credit rating agencies like Moody's or Standard & Poor's (S&P)

Anything with a credit rating of BBB (Triple B) or lower is considered as 'junk bond' or a 'high yield bond' as they have high risk of default

Yield is simply the return an investor of a bond realizes over the course of the bond holding period

Bond Yield = Interest Payments / Bond Price
Since, coupon (interest) payments on a bond along with tenure of a bond is fixed
your yield on a bond simply depends on the change in its price

The logic and concept followed for calculation and estimating a Dividend Yield can be directly applied to a bond yield as well.
ITC as per its policy issues out 85% of its profits as Dividends to its Shareholders, this comes to around ~Rs 10/share
When ITC was trading
at 180/share, the Div. Yield was 5.5%
at 254/share, Div. Yield is 3.93%
If Bond Price come down, the Yield on the bond will increase

Suppose if you buy a 10 year Govt Bond that pays 5% interest yearly for Rs 1000
If instead of selling the bond when bond price rises to Rs 1100, you held on to your bond until its maturity date till end of 10 years


A Yield Curve is just a graphical representation of Yields of various bonds with similar credit rating but differing maturities

which depicts the Bond Yields on US Treasury Bonds for varying maturity dates ranging from 1 Month to 30 Years

Why is Yield Curve used to predict a Recession?

a. Upwards Sloping (Most of the Time)
b. Flat (Rare)
c. Inverted Yield Curve (Very Rare)

Yields on longer term bonds should be much higher compared to Yields on shorter term bonds
as
with longer term bonds you are taking more risk and hence need more interest as return
implying that near term risk in the economy is higher compared to long term

Bond Investors start dumping their short term bonds in favour for longer duration bonds
Demand for Short Term Bonds decreases, causing Bond Prices to collapse and Yields to Increase
While
Demand for Longer Term Bonds Increases, causing Bond Prices to rise and Yields to Decrease
Thus, creating the inverted Yield Curve.
Here are some of their publications on this subject

It even inverted right before the pandemic!

Most recently the US Treasury 2 and 10 yr Yield Curve Inverted on 29th March 2022
imply the onset of a recession anytime between end of 2022 to 2024.

Without Recessions, we wouldn't have the opportunity to reset and economy would overheat and turn into a bubble which when popped could bring depression.

1. Slowing Economic Growth
2. High Unemployment Rate
3. High to Medium Fed Interest Rates

The inflation today is purely a result of supply side shortages cause by the onset of the pandemic

I don't know and I am not sure if anybody does.

Some of you got it correct. Its Anjali Portland.
The company just acquired another cement company that will double the total sales immediately.
https://t.co/2xVnpJapPy
The acquisition was financed by adding debt, so interest costs from next quarter will go up but still great!
For a company that operates in a cyclical sector like cement!
What I liked is that the company was able to maintain the balance sheet and margins even in a down cycle.
With real estate sector reviving, this can be a great bet from here.
No recommendations, just an observation.
Market started re-rating the stock as soon as they announced acquisition.
Someone did some work on details of acquisition, sharing the thread

To people who are under the impression that you can get rich quickly by working on an app, here are the stats for https://t.co/az8F12pf02
📈 ~12000 vistis
☑️ 109 transactions
💰 353€ profit (285 after tax)
I have spent 1.5 months on this app. You can make more $ in 2 days.
🤷♂️
I'm still happy that I launched a paid app bcs it involved extra work:
- backend for processing payments (+ permissions, webhooks, etc)
- integration with payment processor
- UI for license activation in Electron
- machine activation limit
- autoupdates
- mailgun emails
etc.
These things seemed super scary at first. I always thought it was way too much work and something would break. But I'm glad I persisted. So far the only problem I have is that mailgun is not delivering the license keys to certain domains like https://t.co/6Bqn0FUYXo etc. 👌
