Why a Steeper Yield Curve Is Squeezing Main Street

The 10-year Treasury yield just hit 4.68 percent, and the curve is steepening again — but this time it's not a growth signal. Lucas and Luna dig into why long-term borrowing costs are climbing while real GDP growth cools to 1.5 percent. They explain how the bond market is tightening credit for small businesses and households, and why the stock market's calm may be misleading. Using the latest data and a real-world example, they unpack what the 10-year minus 2-year spread really means for your mortgage, your job, and your portfolio. If you've noticed loan rates creeping up even as inflation slows, this episode explains the disconnect. A practical look at how bond yields transmit to Main Street, and what to watch next. #YieldCurve #BondMarket #TreasuryYields #MainStreet #SmallBusiness #InterestRates #CreditConditions #EconomicGrowth #GDP #FederalReserve #FinancialMarkets #Investing #PersonalFinance #Finance #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #MarketAnalysis Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
