Fed and Treasury credibility shortfall, Gregory Daco notes
Fed and Treasury face credibility issues

Gregory Daco discusses the outlook for the Federal Reserve and highlights the inherent tension between the Fed Chair and the Treasury Secretary.

According to Daco, each leader faces a separate challenge: the Treasury is focused on debt, while the Fed is battling inflation. However, both institutions are experiencing a credibility shortfall.

Earlier this year, Gregory Daco noted that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent had taken steps to modify the U.S. bond market after criticizing his predecessor. In a separate piece, Daco wrote that structural factors were putting sustained pressure on long-term yields, casting doubt on the effectiveness of policy interventions. These observations come as questions continue about the credibility of key economic institutions.
