Paul Krugman: bond yields may be rising due to an ‘insanity premium’

“[I]ncreases in long-term rates, like the 10-year Treasury rate, might reflect the horrible, creeping suspicion that Donald Trump actually believes the crazy things he says about economic policy and will act on those beliefs,”

he wrote in a post via his new Substack newsletter titled, 

“Is There an Insanity Premium on Interest Rates?”

Krugman, of course, is no Trump fan, nor vice versa. But questions around exactly what the Trump agenda will entail are certainly in focus among investors as his Jan. 20 inauguration approaches.
