Opimas CEO Octavio Marenzi joins Yahoo Finance to discuss the increase in the Treasury yield curves and what investors should look at to indicate a recession. In addition, Marenzi outlines several safer investments during these volatile times, stating investors should take advantage of the shorter end of the yield curve: "I can't remember a time when you could get 5% return for basically doing nothing and taking no risk at all."

Markets can recover 'if rates slow down,' strategist says
The Federal Reserve's decision to keep rates steady, with signals that rates will stay higher for longer, has many concerned going into the next fiscal year. Part of the market reaction to the Fed's decision includes treasury yields hitting some of their highest levels in over 15 years. Jay Woods, Freedom Capital Markets Chief Global Strategist, joins Yahoo Finance to discuss the Fed's decision and how the market will perform based on its decision. When asked about the treasury yields and what that means for the American consumer, Woods said, "The market has done remarkably well.
