億萬富翁斯科特·貝森特作爲被提名的美國財政部長可能面臨幾個障礙
週五，dent總統唐納德·特朗普提名億萬富翁投資者、Key Square Capital Management 創始人兼首席執行官兼創始人斯科特·貝森特 (Scott Bessent) 擔任美國財政部長。該角色將涉及貝森特監督所有金融貨幣政策法規，並啓動金融關係。
到目前爲止，斯科特·貝森特成爲下一任美國財政部長的可能性得到了很多人的支持。華爾街的反饋是積極的，多個指數在提名後上漲。最終決定權仍在參議院，參議院將給予貝森特左右翼的支持。
然而，根據華盛頓dent最近的報道，被提名的財政部長在執行特朗普政策時可能面臨一些障礙。該報告還概述了一些特朗普右翼支持者對他的提名的一些負面反饋。
特斯拉和 SpaceX 首席執行官兼創始人埃隆·馬斯克 (Elon Musk) 最近的推文就是一個例子，稱 Bessent 是一種一切照舊的選擇。值得注意的是，特斯拉首席執行官表示，一切照舊正在導致該國破產。馬斯克還稱讚貝森特在爭奪這一職位時的競爭對手霍華德·盧特尼克(Howard Lutnick)，稱他是比貝森特更能做出改變的人。
貝森特承諾執行特朗普的政策
貝森特擔任財政部長強化了市場對“特朗普看跌期權”的看法——貝森特爲即將上任的內閣提供了巨大的經濟和市場信譽。🤝🏼
他建議特朗普奉行“3-3-3”政策：

Research firm FS Insight mentioned on November 25 that Scott Bessent becoming the U.S. Treasury Secretary would reinforce Trump’s put. Additionally, FS Insight noted that the billionaire is a trusted economic figure, contributing to the credibility of the incoming cabinet.
Scott Bessent advised Trump to implement the 3-3-3 policy, which would involve cutting the budget deficit to 3% of the U.S. GDP, implementing deregulation to improve the GDP by 3%, and increasing oil production by 3 million barrels a day. According to Bessent, the 3-3-3 policy would fuel economic growth, improve the country’s energy production, create an environment to encourage investments, and more.
Scott Bessent is set to implement Trump’s tariff policies, sharing his fondness for the incoming president’s plans. The investor expressed his opinion in a November 25 Fox News opinionated piece. Bessent highlighted the importance of proper implementation of the tariffs to influence revenue growth.
According to the nominated Treasury Secretary, tariffs could also work for Trump’s foreign policy objectives, including encouraging U.S. exports, reducing illegal immigration and drug trafficking, reducing military aggression, and more.
Bessent will further need to deliver tax cuts as per Trump’s policies. The investor mentioned in an interview that the cuts were a top priority. Trump promised a corporate tax cut from 21% to 15%.
The nominated Treasury Secretary believes in the Fed’s independence
Scott Bessent has been significantly vocal about the need for an independent Federal Reserve. However, his views could go against Trump’s plans to overlook some of the decisions made by the U.S. central bank. The left could further be against Bessent in case he supports some of his past views on the Fed including having a ‘shadow Fed chair.’
The nominated Treasury Secretary, while speaking to Barron’s in October, suggested that a Trump decision to name Fed chair Jerome Powell’s successor could discredit any decisions Powell makes. Jerome’s term as the Fed chair will end in 2026, and his term on the Fed Board of Governors will end in 2028.
Senator Elizabeth Warren recently advised Scott Bessent not to interfere with the Fed’s decisions. In a statement on November 25, Senator Warren explained that while she does not support all of Powell’s decisions, she does not question his right to make them.
