Treasury-Led Financial Repression Is Ushering In A Debasement Regime | Weekly Roundup
About this episode
Treasury is quietly taking control of financial conditions and the market implications could trigger a new wave in the debasement trade.
This week, Felix and Quinn unpack Treasury’s accelerating intervention in long-term yields and why it could reignite the rotation into hard assets as policymakers suppress yields and tolerate inflation.
We explore inflation, dollar weakness, AI financing, oil's ongoing supply shock, and where capital likely rotates next. Enjoy!
