Hedgefonds-Manager soll Trumps Finanzminister werden
Der designierte US-Präsident Donald #Trump hat am Freitag den Investor Scott Bessent für den Posten an der Spitze des Finanzministeriums nominiert. Der 62-Jährige solle unter anderem die Ungleichgewichte im Außenhandel beseitigen und das Wachstum der Wirtschaft in den Vordergrund stellen, hieß es in einer Mitteilung des Republikaners.
Bessent ist Gründer des Hedgefonds Key Square Group. Er war zuvor Chief Investment Officer bei Soros Fund Management des US-Milliardärs George #Soros und gilt als Experte für globale Makro-Investments. Er war bereits im Wahlkampf ein enger Berater Trumps.

The S&P 500 fell 1.3% to 4,204.36, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.7% to 32,943.33. The Dow posted a fifth straight weekly loss — its longest losing streak since 2019. The Nasdaq Composite tumbled 2.2% to 12,843.81. Though all three indexes opened in the green, stocks took a turn after a new report showed U.S. consumer sentiment deteriorated more than expected in early March as consumers' inflation expectations soared to the highest since 1981. And while money initially moved into stocks in the morning, capital moved out of safe-haven assets. The price of the 10-year Treasury note fell Friday, sending its yield up to 2% from a March closing low of 1.73%. "The inflation fire was already hot and now with war-driven inflation added to the mix, it will grow even hotter, setting off a scramble by the world’s central banks to pull back their stimulus earlier than expected," Chris Rupkey, chief economist at FWDBONDS, wrote in an email. "A spike in inflation rates has preceded economic recessions historically and this time prices have soared to levels that once again pose a threat to growth." As such, the SC would like to remind investors to always exercise caution when evaluating investment opportunities, especially those promising unrealistically high returns with little or no risk. Investors should also never deposit money into someone’s personal bank account if instructed. For example, WhatsApp restricted the number of times a user could forward something, and developed automated systems that detect and flag objectionable content.
