Episode 107 – Uh-Oh? - Explaining the U.S. Treasury Markets
Description
In this episode of Current Account, Clay is joined by Ashok Bhundia, IIF's Deputy Chief Economist, to discuss developments in the U.S. Treasury markets in reaction to the recent implementations of tariff and trade policies by the United States. Clay and Ashok walk through the ripple effects of the April 2nd "Liberation Day" and ensuing seven-day tariff pause, how the market disruption compares to other shocks, reasons behind Bond market stability post-April 9th, why the Treasury market is important to the average consumer compared to the stock market, what potential measures may come in the short and medium terms, and much more.
