问题 Why did the inverted yield curve concern investors?
The US three-year treasury note yield surpassed its five-year note on Monday. The inverted yield curve caught investors’ attention because historical statistics showed that when short-term yields trade above longer-term rates, a recession could follow.
选项 A、Because it is uncommon throughout history.
B、Because it can be a sign of impending slump.
C、Because longer-term rates are more important than short-term yields.
D、Because they have to adjust their investment plans to the curve.
答案B
解析 语义因果关系的判断。根据原文“because historical statistics showed that when short-term yields trade above longer-term rates a recession could follow”可知，投资者关注该现象的原因是历史数据显示，在短期债券收益率高于长期后会出现经济衰退。选项B表述，这种现象可能标志着经济萧条即将到来，与原文相符。因此，本题答案为选项B。
