* U.S. 2/10 yield curve falls to -3 basis points in inversion * But U.S. 3-month/10-year curve continues to steepen * U.S. 7-year note auction shows mixed results (Recasts, updates prices, adds analyst comment, adds U.S. rates table) By Gertrude Chavez-Dreyfuss NEW YORK, March 29 (Reuters) – The widely tracked U.S. 2-year/10-year Treasury yield curve briefly inverted on Tuesday for the first time since September 2019, as bond investors bet that aggressive tightening by the Federal Reserve could hurt the U.S. economy over the longer term. U.S. rate futures are priced for a 75% chance of a 50 basis-point interest rate hike in May and see cumulative rate increases of more than 200 basis points.
