Let the Bond Market Speak, by Stan Druckenmiller
Druck writes (with better stats) exactly what Iâve been sharing to my circle about Bessentâs dangerous Treasury repurchase game: Scottâs bluff can too easily be called by the market.
Ultimately, Bessent will not repurchase so much that itâs a âQE,â given the risk of runaway inflation. So Scott is jawboning.
The recent spike in rates is absolutely a vigilante cry, warning about the debt and deficit.
If the politicians wonât enforce discipline (and they wonât), the market will.
Rates are the pressure valve.
