U.S. Treasury chief says not concerned about yield curve: CNBC

[August 28, 2018]  WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Tuesday said he was not concerned the gap between short-term and long-term borrowing costs, or yield curve, adding that his remarks were not a comment on the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank or its actions.

"I, for one, am not at all concerned about the yield curve," Mnuchin told CNBC in an interview. "For now, having a flat yield curve with us issuing long-term debt is something we're perfectly content with."
