This indicator calculates and visualizes the ratio between the US 1-Year Treasury Yield (US01Y) and the US 10-Year Treasury Yield (US10Y). It provides a clear visual representation of the relationship between short-term and long-term interest rates, which can be a valuable tool for analyzing market conditions, potential recessions, or shifts in economic outlook.
Features:
US01Y/US10Y Ratio: The indicator plots the ratio between the 1-Year and 10-Year US Treasury Yields as a smooth curve.
Dynamic Highlighting: Portions of the curve where the ratio exceeds 1 are highlighted in red, making it easy to identify periods where short-term rates surpass long-term rates—a key signal often associated with economic shifts or inversions.
Customizable Appearance: The main curve is plotted in a light blue color for clear visibility against most chart backgrounds.
Use Cases:
Yield Curve Analysis: This indicator helps traders and analysts monitor the yield curve, specifically focusing on the relationship between short-term and long-term interest rates.
