UBS On-Air: Paul Donovan Daily Audio 'Trade taxes and the US Treasury'
US Treasury Secretary-nominee Bessent is a more orthodox cabinet nominee. Yesterday’s confirmation hearings saw generally articulate answers. The responses on trade taxes were troubling. Bessent’s idea that an appreciating currency offsets tariffs is not supported by recent evidence. The idea that US workers will not pay trade taxes is wrong. As he’s an intelligent individual, these views may reflect the beliefs of the incoming administration, not Bessent’s understanding.

Although consumers do not focus on such prices when considering inflation, this deflation did boost consumer spending power. The abrupt market response reflects the problem with Federal Reserve Chair Powell’s “data dependency” mantra: any data release (however dodgy) prompts an extreme market response.
