Most economists expect the Fed will hike at least twice more this year. If so, portions of the yield curve may invert.

Basis Point Spreads

If the fed hikes twice more this year, with the one-year yield at 2.11 and the 3-month yield at 1.75, there is little room for anything but inversion or a nearly flat curve if rates on the long end fail to rise.
