Fundamentals and News
Bond Vigilantes Lie In Wait as Trump Tax Plan Seen Swelling Debt
The Trump administration’s tax plan -- and its disregard for the effect it would have on the federal budget deficit -- is certain to pique the interest of a long-dormant segment of bond investors.
So-called bond vigilantes, once feared for enforcing restraint on spendthrift governments, have struggled to flex their muscles in recent years as global central banks stepped in to buy a glut of sovereign debt. Now may be the time for a comeback, with the Federal Reserve talking about trimming its Treasury holdings while the administration’s tax plan could spur more borrowing to cover a shortfall (assuming the projected economic growth doesn’t materialize).
The notion of the bond market holding elected officials to task is of course met with skepticism, given Barack Obama more than doubled the U.S. marketable debt over his two terms as president, to almost $14 trillion. And that burden is poised to nearly double again over the next decade, according to estimates by the Congressional Budget Office that don’t factor in DonaldTrump’s fiscal initiatives. His budget director said in a Bloomberg Television interview last week that “deficits are not driving the discussion.”
“While the White House appears likely to rely on optimistic growth assumptions to offset most of the fiscal effects of the proposed tax cut, Congress will not be able to do so,” Goldman Sachs Group Inc. strategists led by Jan Hatzius wrote in a note Thursday. “Indications of openness to a tax cut among congressional Republicans suggest that a tax cut is more likely than revenue-neutral reform. We expect a long road ahead.”
“Bond vigilantes are now clearly showing no signs of vigilantism,” said Edward Yardeni, president of Yardeni Research Inc. in New York, who’s been following the bond market since the 1970s. He coined the term “bond vigilantes” in the 1980s to describe investors who sell bonds to protest monetary or fiscal policies they consider inflationary.
