Trump Trade' of Large Tariffs and Deficits Looms as Market Braces for 2024 Election
Briefly

The $28 trillion Treasury market, pivotal for U.S. government debt auctions, has become a battleground for investors speculating on potential tax and spending policies of presidential candidates, particularly Trump.

David Cervantes, founder of Pinebrook Capital, suggests that if Trump wins, investors should expect to short bonds, indicating a belief that bond values will fall.
