After #China unveiled steep retaliatory #tariffs on American exports on Wed, #Treasury Secy #ScottBessent issued a sharp & surprising response: “So what?”

The loss of China as an export market will deal a particularly hard blow to #agriculture in red states, hitting the voters who helped #Trump win. On Wed, Trump ratcheted US tariffs on China even higher. #Farmers are concerned that a protracted #TradeWar w/China will cut off ties w/their largest export market.

The soybean industry is one of the sectors most concerned about tariff retaliation.

“Rare, ugly & worrying.” That is how Krishna Guha, vice chair at Evercore ISI, described the combination of #market moves today, which saw US govt #bonds sell off & the dollar weaken against a basket of leading currencies, while #stocks sold off sharply. In the last 30 years, he said, there are only 4 other episodes in which the US #dollar index depreciated more than 1.5% with the yield on U.S. 30-year govt debt up more than 0.1% point.

Asked about the ongoing sell-off in #FinancialMarkets, Goolsbee acknowledged that there is “a lot of selling pressure in an environment where it’s uncertain whether we’re going to enact this largest tariff in 100 years — & it might be bigger than that,” he said. “We’ve had a big increase in the amount of debt worldwide, so that just amps up the scrutiny on #bonds.”

The S&P 500 tumbled 3.5% on Thursday, signaling renewed investor concern about the worsening #TradeWar with #China & the destabilizing effects of #Trump’s #tariffs.

Few corners of the stock market were spared from Thursday’s slump. More than 80% of the stocks in the S&P 500 ended the day lower. The energy sector led declines as oil prices tumbled, another harbinger of slowing global growth.

"What we saw in the UK in the 1980s under Margaret Thatcher's government was just how quickly the free market transitioned from a radical idea into the new reality. Then before long it became what many assumed was the system that would last forever."

The damage to the US's reputation is already done, and you cannot fix it by delaying #tariffs for 90 days. The #economy is suffering. Even without being an expert, it's clear that trust in #US #Treasury #Bonds won't return to the same level, even after #Trump is gone. There is a small window for #Congress to impeach him and show that they are capable of handling the situation, but unfortunately, the #Republicans don't have the courage to do so.
