Trump will meet with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán at 11:45 a.m. local time on Friday.November 7th - The recent sell-off in longer-term US Treasuries indicates that fiscal issues will be investors primary concern if Trumps tariff policies are rejected, as they worry that rising debt levels will exacerbate the budget deficit. Thomas Mathews, Head of Asia Pacific Markets at Capital Economics, pointed out that the longest end of the US Treasury yield curve has seen the greatest volatility, suggesting that concerns about the fiscal situation are no less significant than those about the Federal Reserves interest rate path. The loss of tariff revenue will reignite the deficit problem. Wednesdays market reaction was more moderate than when the tariffs were introduced at the beginning of the year, as the market anticipated that the government might introduce alternative tariffs. This would limit the size of fiscal stimulus and is unlikely to fully offset the revenue loss. Furthermore, while the direct inflation-boosting effect of tariffs is limited, the recent slight decline in inflation swap rates suggests that investors believe that removing tariffs will still have some effect on curbing inflation.On November 7th, the topic of a Pop Mart livestream incident became the top trending topic.
