Breakeven Inflation Curve Inverted

Alert ID: BREAKEVEN_INVERSION
Category: inflation
Cross-detection: no

Severity

WARNING — conditions deteriorating; worth monitoring

Trigger condition

{
  "type": "computed",
  "computation": "breakeven_inversion"
}

Computed condition (breakeven_inversion) — the trigger logic lives in app/signals/alerts.py:_eval_computed. This alert does not decompose into a simple field threshold; consult the source for the exact semantics.

Message template

Breakeven curve inverted: 5Y {breakeven_5y:.2f}% > 10Y {breakeven_10y:.2f}% > 5Y5Y {breakeven_5y5y:.2f}% — classic stagflation-fear signature, near-term inflation expectations exceed long-run.

Rendered with the current signals dict via Python str.format. Placeholders that fail to resolve fall back to the raw template (see _format_message in app/signals/alerts.py).

Cooldown / dedup

• Cooldown: none. Re-evaluation on every cycle.
• Dedup: at most one active (or acknowledged) row per alert_id at a time. Re-firing while active updates fired_at and the message but keeps the original first_fired_at.

Notifies

• Active alert feed (/api/v1/alerts/active, /alerts/summary).
• SSE stream (/api/v1/agents/stream) for real-time consumers.
• alert_fired webhook on first fire.
• alert_resolved webhook when the condition clears (non-cross-detection alerts only).

• No simple field references — see app/signals/alerts.py:_eval_computed for the computed-condition logic.
