The one-month, 20-year, and 30-year rates fell while all other rates rose in October.  The yield curve narrowed from the previous month thus ending its widening streak at two months.  The one-month bill did not maintain the lowest rate throughout the month and it shared the lowest rate on multiple occasions.  There were moves upwards on short-term rates thus increasing the risk of an inversion brought upon by rising short-term rates.  Such an inversion, if it were to happen would be a strong indicator for an upcoming recession.
