[quote=jsteele]Someone help me out here. I admit to not being a financial wizard, but I don't think that I am a complete idiot either. What do you think about this statement by Scott Bessent tonight: "The bond market had its best year since 2020 and if I have anything to say about it as your nation's top bond salesman, bonds will have another strong year in 2026 as we fight to bring treasury borrowing costs down." https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3m7lmz6ourp2c If the bond market is strong, wouldn't borrowing costs for the U.S. Treasury go up? If returns on bonds go down, which is what would be required to lower borrowing costs, then wouldn't investors flee from bonds and invest in equities instead? Of course, I am not a soybean farmer like Bessent, so I am probably missing something. [/quote]
