  "account": "Global bond markets are sounding the alarm, with a noticeable uptick in long-term capital interest rates worldwide. Following the United States, interest rates on long-term U.S. government bonds have crossed the crucial five percent mark, with Treasury bonds now yielding nearly 3.5 percent, the highest level since 2008. Capital has become notably more expensive due to fundamental concerns: rising inflation fears, increasing national debt, and particularly in the United States, justified mistrust in the Federal Reserve's ability or willingness to effectively combat price increases. In this already uncertain period, the U.S. President and his Treasury Secretary are contributing to the heightened nervousness in bond markets. Donald Trump has promised to give every eligible citizen a $5,000 bonus if his Republican party secures majorities in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Regardless of the claim that the so-called Trump dividend amounts to bribery, and that Congress alone can decide on such massive expenditures, it fuels concerns about a loss of control over American federal finances, costing over a trillion dollars – more than the country spends on defense.",
  "summary": "Der Präsident und sein Finanzminister gefährden die Glaubwürdigkeit amerikanischer Finanzpolitik. Sie könnten ein Beben an den Anleihemärkten auslösen, das die Finanzkrise 2008 harmlos erscheinen ließe.",
