A strong signal indicating a cooling labor market was enough to weaken the US dollar sharply. The move can also be seen in the U.S. bond market, where we are seeing a progressive flattening of the curve. It is worth noting that a month ago the spread between 2-year and 10-year yields was 90 bps, and now it is 50 bps. Of course, we still have a negative 10Y-2Y spread and this is an indicator of a potential coming recession.
