What 10Y-3M Yield Curve measures.

The difference between the 10-year and 3-month Treasury yields, in percentage points, published daily by the Federal Reserve (via FRED series T10Y3M).

A negative value means short rates are above long rates, an inversion. Inversions of this spread have preceded most U.S. recessions in recent decades, usually by several months to over a year, although the timing is irregular and it is not a perfect signal.
