Scott Bessent, expected to head Treasury under President-elect Trump, has Wall Street optimistic as financial markets respond positively, indicating potential stabilization of Trump's economic policies.
Bessent is viewed as a 'safe pair of hands' who may temper Trump's extreme tariff ideas while balancing tax cuts and fiscal discipline.
As treasury secretary, Bessent will face challenges including the federal debt limit and promises of deregulation, all while navigating Trump's controversial economic agenda.
Bessent's prior experience at George Soros's firm raises eyebrows, as he might reconcile progressive banking views with Trump's administration, illustrating the complexity of economic governance.
