Donald Trump is already delivering wins for America before his inauguration as the 47th President of the United States. Wall Street is breathing a sigh of relief as bond yields, which have been hovering at worrisome heights, are starting to retreat. The 10-year Treasury yield fell to 4.67% on Wednesday, a drop from its 52-week high of over 4.8%. This movement signals renewed investor confidence in a Trump-led economy, despite years of mismanagement by the Democrats.
For weeks, market watchers feared the 10-year yield would breach the dreaded 5% threshold, a level last seen before the 2008 financial crisis. The yield flirted with that danger zone in October, hitting 4.987% and sparking concerns about a potential market correction. As John Kerschner of Janus Henderson Investors put it, “The market is relieved that potential nose-bleed interest rates are, for now, taken off the table.” Translation: Trump’s America-first policies are already setting the stage for economic stability and growth.
Economist Jay Hatfield of Infrastructure Capital Advisors isn’t buying the media hysteria over Trump’s tariffs and immigration policies. According to him, fears about inflationary impacts are overblown. Hatfield points out that the strong dollar—thanks in part to Trump’s leadership—is putting downward pressure on inflation. In his words, “The market is massively overestimating the inflationary impact of tariffs and deportations and completely ignoring the deflationary impacts of the 10% appreciation of the dollar.”
This is good news for everyday Americans who’ve been crushed by years of Democrat-led economic incompetence. Lower bond yields mean mortgage rates and other borrowing costs could follow suit, easing the financial burden on families trying to buy homes or refinance. For those invested in the stock market, Hatfield predicts even more growth, forecasting the S&P 500 to reach 7,000 by 2025—a nearly 20% increase.
Democrats, of course, will scramble to downplay this victory. They’ll claim Trump’s policies will wreck the economy while conveniently ignoring the train wreck they left behind. Inflation spiraled out of control on their watch, and their solution was to spend even more money we didn’t have. Now, with Trump poised to take the reins, we’re already seeing a shift toward common sense and prosperity.
Americans can expect a return to economic policies that prioritize Main Street over bureaucratic nonsense and globalist fantasies. Trump’s focus on strong trade deals, fair tariffs, and responsible fiscal policies is precisely what this country needs to climb out of the mess the Democrats created. While the left continues to scream about impending doom, the markets are signaling what the rest of us already know: with Trump back in charge, the American economy is ready to roar again.
