The one-month rate fell while all other rates rose in December.  The yield curve widened from the previous month thus ending its narrowing streak at two months.  The one-month bill did not maintain the lowest rate throughout the month and it shared the lowest rate.  There were no major moves upwards on short-term rates thus decreasing the risk of an inversion brought upon by rising short-term rates.  Such an inversion, if it were to happen would be a strong indicator for an upcoming recession.
