Need to Know: Eisman of 'Big Short’ fame sees a familiar pain point: risky bonds

That’s the gist of what President Trump told a cheering crowd in Florida — China breached its early promises during monthslong negotiations and that’s why they’ll be paying higher tariffs this Friday. The president’s statements come as the country’s chief negotiator Vice Premier Liu He and his team head to Washington for two-day talks, where the outcome is uncertain.

In the interview, Eisman says the center of pain for the next U.S. recession will trigger “massive losses” for high-yield or junk bonds, and those rated triple-BBB corporate bonds — just one step higher from those low-grade bonds. Still, Fed Vice Chair for Supervision Randal Quarles, said on the heels of that report that media hype of leverage-loan risk makes it seem like “the earth must be getting hit by an asteroid.” In other words, nothing to see here.
