    Since 1954 — when fed funds data first started — the average spread between funds and the 10 year t bond
    has been 0.8%. That does include the periods of a steeply negative curve.

    What is unusual is not where the yield curve is now.
    Rather, it is where it was a year ago when it was over 4% — except for a few months in 1989 that was an all time high.
