Bessent: Hormuz Will Soon Be "Worthless," Global Bond Selloff

Bloomberg reports that Scott Bessent said the Strait of Hormuz will soon be “worthless,” in the context of a global bond selloff. The implication is sharply deteriorating risk sentiment and higher term premia, with markets repricing sovereign/credit risk tied to geopolitical disruption. Overall read-through is defensive and bearish for rates and bond performance, even though no specific yields/spread moves are provided in the excerpt.
