The 30 Yr - 20 Yr Treasury spread is the difference between the 30 Yr and 20 Yr par yields. When positive, the curve is "normal" — longer maturities yield more than shorter ones, compensating investors for duration risk. When negative (inverted), the curve signals that the market expects lower future rates, often associated with recession risk or aggressive monetary tightening. The current level of 3 bps sits at the 64th percentile of its 52-week range (-3 to 7 bps). Spread changes are driven by shifts in rate expectations, term premium, and supply-demand dynamics. Fixed income traders use these spreads to construct curve trades — steepeners profit when the spread widens, flatteners when it narrows.
