I'm a little sanguine about the inverted yield curve as a real signal this time around, to be honest.

We're in an environment of very rapidly rising short-term interest rates, specifically as the Fed attempts to try to manage inflation; with back-to-back 75 bps increases. That tends to have a curve flattening effect as the yield curve is nominal; short term yields rise more than longer tenors if the market believes that inflation will decrease as real yields will be higher.
