Amerikaanse schuldenberg zet rentemarkt onder druk: 'Iemand moet die schuld financieren'

Why are US capital market interest rates so high? In this episode, economists explain how supply and demand determine long-term interest rates and why pension funds, insurers, governments, and the rapidly growing AI sector play a key role in this. Additionally, they discuss the rising US national debt, the notable intervention by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and the question of what high interest rates say about the financial position of the United States and the role of the dollar as a global reserve currency. #BNR #HetGrotePlaatje #Amerika #US #capitalmarketinterestrates #nationaldebt [Summary written by AI and verified by human] Thumbnail: Adobe Stock Do you need more BNR in your life?
