Bond market ‘caught in the middle’ amid Trump tax bill push, tariff risk

The bond market is arrested in tightening the rope between the prospects for stimulus supporting the growth bill for President Trump and inflationary pressures from the definitions, leaving investors with a few clear signals of the place headed by the economy and high long -term returns.

“We have policies on the one hand that will enhance growth like widespread financial stimulation,” Cathy Jones, head of the fixed income strategy in Charles Schwab, told Yahoo Finance. “Then we have some who will slow down growth, such as customs tariffs … So the bond market may only occur in the middle.”

As of Tuesday, the treasury revenue is hovering for 30 years (^Tyx) near 4.96 %. There is still a link by 4.96 %, increasing more than 20 basis points since the beginning of the year. Meanwhile, the return was circulated for 10 years (^TNX) about 4.44 %.

The long -term return has increased in recent weeks, driven by anxiety over the American financial path as Trump’s tax legislation, which is estimated to add 4 trillion dollars to national debt over the next decade, and go to the Senate after the House of Representatives cleared. Trump pledged to sign the bill in the law by July 4.

“We haven’t seen this for decades,” Jones said, referring to the last bond market that is moving as a reflection of “a lot of fears and uncertainty.”

While the short -term return has remained relatively fixed amid expectations that the Federal Reserve will maintain that interest rates have not changed, the long -term return has increased more severely as investors demand greater compensation for the confirmation deficit and the increasing risks of policy.

Historically, the deficit has no effect on the treasury revenues, which is largely due to the economic domination of the United States and its role as a source of the world’s reserve currency. But this dynamic may be a transformation.

“It seems as if we are hitting a turning point,” Jones said, warning that the markets require a greater risk allowance.

In addition to pressure, the provisions of the proposed legislation, such as the condition of section 899, can raise the cost of the US assets contract for foreign investors. Jones warned that this might undermine a vital source to ask for the cabinet.

Jones said: “Anything that discourages foreign investment in any way, shape or model, whether it is a direct investment or through financial tools, it will be negative,” Jones said. “We are running a large deficit in the current account. We need the flow of capital. If we don’t get it, this will lead to a decrease in our economy, which means that the returns should rise to a level that foreign investors find attractive.”
