  • Investors seemed to signal their approval for Scott Bessent as a safe choice to implement the president-elect's economic agenda.

The article from The New York Times discusses the potential impact of Donald Trump's economic policies on the U.S. Treasury market if he were to win the 2024 presidential election. It highlights the views of Scott Bessent, a former Trump administration official and now a hedge fund manager, who predicts that Trump's policies could lead to higher inflation and interest rates. Bessent suggests that Trump's proposed tax cuts, deregulation, and trade policies might spur economic growth but at the cost of increased fiscal deficits. This could result in a sell-off of Treasuries, pushing yields up as investors demand higher returns for the increased risk. The article also notes the market's anticipation of these changes, with some investors already adjusting their portfolios in expectation of a Trump victory, potentially leading to a volatile period for bond markets.
