美国财政部长贝森特市场干预失利声誉受损

美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特因一系列市场干预失败而专业信誉受到严重冲击。1曾被奥巴马首席经济学家杰森·弗曼称为"可信的财政部长"的贝森特，如今因与特朗普的紧密关联而逐渐失去学术界和市场的认可。1

贝森特的政策失效集中体现在多个方面。三周前，他在支持日元后曾宣称"我就是庄家"，但相关措施未能达成预期效果。1更为显著的是，贝森特试图通过购买30年期美国国债来压低长期利率的努力以失败告终，30年期债券收益率反而创下自互联网泡沫末期以来的新高。1此外，贝森特关于伊朗经济可能在两周内崩溃的预测同样缺乏可信度，进一步削弱了市场对其判断力的信心。1

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has seen his professional reputation significantly damaged through his association with the Trump administration, according to recent analysis 1. Once regarded as a credible economist—former President Obama's chief economist Jason Furman previously described him as a "trustworthy Treasury secretary"—Bessent has experienced a series of market intervention failures that have undermined his standing 1.

Three weeks ago, Bessent backed intervention in the Japanese yen while declaring "I am the house now," suggesting confidence in his market-moving ability 1. More substantially, he attempted to purchase 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds to suppress long-term interest rates, but the effort failed 1. The 30-year bond yield subsequently reached its highest level since the end of the internet bubble era 1. Additionally, Bessent has made optimistic predictions about Iran's economy potentially collapsing within two weeks, a forecast that observers question for its credibility 1. These developments collectively illustrate how Bessent's close alignment with Trump has eroded the economic credibility he previously commanded 1.
