Michael Kao: UST yield curve shifts signal risks for economy
Yield curve shifts raise economic concerns

Michael Kao, CIO at Akadia Capital, assesses recent changes in the U.S. Treasury yield curve, noting a significant two-month shift. Kao believes current expectations for higher Fed Funds rates may be overextrapolated and suggests the economy could face challenges before reaching a 4.75% rate amid the ongoing AI buildout financed by large-scale borrowing.

Kao previously stated that TLT showed signs of a capitulation bottom after purchasing short-term call options during what he perceived as an oversold period. He also observed the breakdown of the TLT double-bottom as volatility increased in October 2026. These observations highlight his ongoing focus on U.S. fixed income market shifts.
