DW NOTE
The bond market isn't baring its teeth at Trump — it's marking to market the fiscal trajectory he inherited and accelerated. The US federal deficit hit $1.8 trillion through July, inflation sits at 3.4% with a blockaded Strait of Hormuz suppressing supply by 4.3 million barrels per day, and the Fed hasn't moved rates all year. Bond vigilantes don't need to punish policy; they just need to price it.
