CBS: U.S. Treasury Secretary and Trump Once Had Heated Debate on Tariff Policy

2025.04.16 12:40:33

On April 16th, CBS News, citing multiple sources, stated that although the White House has been attempting to claim that Trump administration officials have been unified on U.S. tariff policy, internal differences over the policy had emerged weeks prior to Trump signing the so-called "reciprocal tariff" executive order on April 2nd. A senior Trump adviser was reported to have warned in private conversations that some tariff proposals could have a catastrophic impact on global financial markets and send the U.S. economy into a downward spiral. CBS reported that U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bennett and Trump's trade and manufacturing policy adviser Peter Navarro had a confrontation in late March in the office of White House Chief of Staff Susan Wells. According to multiple sources, Navarro advocated for a uniform 25% tariff on $3 trillion worth of imported goods, while Bennett, a former Wall Street investor, warned that this move would trigger market turmoil and outlined various risk scenarios. The report said that there was constantly heated rhetoric being exchanged.

Analysis: Bitcoin Correlated with Japanese 10-Year Government Bond Yields, Potential BOJ Stability Could Boost Bitcoin

On January 23, Delphi Digital noted in a post that Bitcoin’s price has stayed stagnant while gold continues to climb—with Japanese government bonds (JGBs) likely a key driver. Typically, rising yields lift the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets, pressuring gold. But when gold and yields rise in tandem, markets are pricing in policy strains and balance sheet vulnerabilities, not economic growth. The current 10-year JGB yield is roughly 3.65 standard deviations above its long-term average. Japanese banks structurally hold long-duration bonds and have deep exposure to JGBs in both their assets and collateral. Gold is absorbing this pressure, while Bitcoin has a negative correlation with 10-year JGB yields and has struggled relatively as JGB yields rise over the long term. If the Bank of Japan (BOJ) intervenes to stabilize the bond market, gold’s risk premium may ease—opening room for a Bitcoin rebound.

Bitcoin Fails to Hit $90,000 Milestone, Market Sentiment Turns Bearish

Jan. 23 Bitcoin failed to push back above the $90,000 mark on Wednesday, eroding investor confidence and ramping up bearish sentiment in the crypto market. Georgii Verbitskii, founder of non-custodial Web3 platform TYMIO, noted Bitcoin’s short-term weakness is tied to a lack of interest from big institutional investors at current price levels. He added geopolitical uncertainty has pushed investors toward defensive strategies. Ryan Li, co-founder of crypto platform Surf, pointed out even top-performing altcoins are struggling—for example, Avalanche, which has dropped roughly 66% since September 2023, despite partnerships with firms like JPMorgan and WisdomTree. This signals the market has very low tolerance for altcoins right now. Verbitskii also noted gold has emerged as a key safe-haven focus, drawing substantial capital and pushing Bitcoin to the sidelines. He emphasized this isn’t a panic-driven “systemic shift”—rather, it’s a period where Bitcoin is being repriced as a n
