thus, you interpret yield spreads between US Treasuries and riskier bonds as:

๐Ÿ“ˆ increasing/high yield spread = risk-off
๐Ÿ“‰ lowering/low yield spread = risk-on

a lower yield spread means that the market requires less return per unit of risk

lower yield spreads means that US Treasuries have a small premium over riskier bonds, thus the market is attributing a smaller premium to safe assets - a "risk-on" signal
