Tariffs are not the story! Since Trump took office in Jan 2025, the 10-year yield has dropped from 4.79% to 4.17%. Look how much it’s dropped today! That 0.62% drop may not sound like much—until you realize the U.S. has $36.5 trillion in debt. This is stealth refinancing on a historic scale. Lower yields = trillions in interest savings. More breathing room. Less inflationary pressure. And the market is front-running it. Everyone’s watching tariffs. But this yield curve shift? It’s the real game. Trump isn’t just cutting spending— he’s restructuring America’s balance sheet in real time.

Tariffs are dumb. We’re not going back to making toasters in Toledo. But if they crush yields and we refi $30T of debt just 100bps cheaper, that’s $300B+ a year in savings. Corporates have largely extended their debt maturity profile and maybe it’s time for Bessent to do the same. Stocks? They can be juiced anytime with a surprise cut or QE. So maybe it’s not totally dumb. How am I wrong?

Less purchasing power, fewer jobs, and a weaker economy. Contact your member of Congress and let them know tariffs will cost American families, workers, and small businesses!
