These move in the same direction about 64% of the time
Their swing sizes only faintly line up (~8% of the pattern is shared).
A real but noisy link — useful as context, risky as a standalone signal.
Both lines start at the same point — easy to compare when growth rates are similar.
What to Watch
Slipping tighter
The recent pattern is tighter than its long-run baseline — keep an eye on whether this sticks.
DOT moves ~12 months before Smoothed U.S. Recession Probabilities
Watch DOT for an early read on Smoothed U.S. Recession Probabilities.
Holds in both up and down markets
