Recap Around the Street 🧠

Trump has chosen Scott Bessent as his Treasury Secretary. Bessent has expressed many desires for policy reform/restructuring, but it should be noted that many of these ideas are outside the Treasury’s control (such as energy policy or fiscal deficits). This mean’s that a Bessent Treasury could be more about what he says (the influence he has on Trump and other cabinet members) and less about what he does. This is in contrast to Yellen’s Treasury, which was less about what Yellen said (she tended to be more descriptive, providing an assessment of the economy) and more about Yellen did (fund the deficit with short term bills, which helped preserve liquidity despite the Fed’s policy tightening). Overall, Bessent is seen as a choice that appeases Wall St. Renaissance Macro did an interview with Bessent back in 2021 that goes through his history of working with investor giants like Soros, Chanos, and Druckenmiller.
