Concerned

Across podcasts and interviews, guests argue that persistent, large fiscal deficits are driving heavy Treasury supply, pressuring bond prices and yields, and worsening debt dynamics even before any recession hits 125. David Rosenberg downplays debt headlines and instead emphasizes a regime shift at the Fed and surging corporate capex borrowing as key to higher real rates, challenging the idea that government deficits are the primary new factor 4. Michael Pettis shares Oren Cass’s view that rising capital income shares alongside falling tax contributions concentrate wealth and render deficits unsustainable 3. Several warn deficits could swell dramatically in a downturn, compounding issuance and market stress 25.

From the window to Oct 4, 05:30 ET — this window's take is still to be written.

The stories

  • ⌒ a line is a voice raising a subject — thicker, more items; colour is the story

The stories this entity travels in: on the right, each story with the subjects seen alongside it; on the left, the voices that raised them, and a line for every subject a voice raised, bundled by story. Tap a voice to light everything it raises, a subject for who raised it, a story for its own lines. The crumb goes back.
