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?
