Yield curves continually move all the time that the markets are open, reflecting the market's reaction to news. A further "stylized fact" is that yield curves tend to move in parallel; i.e.: the yield curve shifts up and down as interest rate levels rise and fall, which is then referred to as a "parallel shift".
Yes, a 10-and-2 yield curve inversion has predicted many past recessions. But it's an imprecise signal – and one that leads equity investors astray. Why Inverted Yield Curve Panic Is Overdone

The “yield curve” is watched for clues on how the bond market feels about the long-term outlook for the U.S. economy. On Tuesday, a closely followed part of the yield curve briefly lit up for ...
An inverted yield curve is an unusual phenomenon; bonds with shorter maturities generally provide lower yields than longer term bonds. [2] [3] To determine whether the yield curve is inverted, it is a common practice to compare the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond to either a 2-year Treasury note or a 3-month Treasury bill.

When yield spreads widen between bond categories with different credit ratings, all else equal, it implies that the market is factoring ...

If the slope is positive, the yield will decrease and the security's price will increase.
