Bond market investors have been extremely busy so far this year, pushing up the cost of government borrowing—especially in the US but also around the world. On this, the inaugural episode of Trumponomics, we look at whether recent moves in the bond market are worrying the incoming Trump administration, what effect they will have on a narrowly-split Congress and whether concerns on Capitol Hill may put some of Donald Trump’s agenda at risk.Host Stephanie Flanders, Bloomberg’s head of government and economics, is joined by Anna Wong, chief US economist at Bloomberg Economics (she’s worked at the Federal Reserve and in the first Trump administration), and Bloomberg managing editor for US economic policy Kate Davidson.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
