The Bond Market Is Trapping The Fed | Weekly Roundup
Notes de l’épisode
Bond investors are testing whether policymakers can suppress yields without reigniting the inflation they claim to fear.
This week, we unpack the political incentives, stubborn prices, and Fed’s looming credibility test currently testing markets.
We explore the massive increase to Treasury buybacks, a possible one-and-done hike, slowing AI-led growth, if debasement trades are due for a pause, and the growing bipartisan opposition toward AI . Enjoy!
