John Waldron, president of Goldman Sachs, said bond traders were increasingly concerned about rising US government debt levels, which had now become a bigger risk than tariffs. "While all the focus has been on tariffs, I think the focus is really shifting, especially in the bond market, to the US budget debate and the fiscal situation, which I think is a bit worrisome," said Mr. Waldron. "I think the biggest risk at the macro level right now is actually not tariffs anymore."
