#### Why did oil prices remain above $100 despite the apparent supply recovery shown in the image?

Five reasons: 1. Fears of war returning 2. Rising transportation costs 3. Depletion of inventories 4. Demand recovery 5. Buying oil to hedge against inflation Source: Bloomberg, Ziad Daoud

#### America could shorten its debt maturities. The risks would last much longer.

According to Citi’s forecast, the Treasury could cut 20-year and 30-year bond auctions in November—and potentially scrap the 20-year altogether. The goal? Issue more short-term bills, reduce long-term bond supply and ease pressure on yields. But there’s a catch. Less duration today means more refinancing tomorrow. If short-term rates stay elevated, Washington would repeatedly roll over its borrowing at expensive rates. With debt approaching $40 trillion, small changes in funding costs carry enormous consequences. And fewer long-term bonds offer no guarantee of lower yields: investors still care about inflation, deficits and fiscal credibility. Changing how America borrows may buy time. It doesn’t fix how much America owes. Source. Bull Theory

#### Yes, fiscal discipline is achievable. Switzerland offers a powerful example.

France’s fiscal troubles dominate the headlines. Yet its neighbour deserves more attention. Switzerland wasn’t always a model of sound public finances. During the 1990s, federal debt surged. Then came a turning point. In 2001, 85% of Swiss voters approved a constitutional “debt brake”, implemented in 2003. The principle is simple: → Save when the economy is strong. → Allow deficits during downturns. → Balance spending and revenues over the economic cycle. → Permit exceptional spending during major crises. The results? Federal debt fell from 56.2% of GDP in 2003 to 37.5% in 2024. Economic growth and rising revenues helped. The rule provided a framework that constrained persistent deficits while preserving room to respond to shocks. Switzerland and France have different institutions. Copying a rule alone would not guarantee the same outcome. But the Swiss experience challenges the idea that rising debt is inevitable. Fiscal discipline requires more than promises. It requires credible rules—and the political commitment to respect them. Should Switzerland feature more prominently in Europe’s fiscal debate? Source: Riccardo Trezzi
