Very much waiting for a reporter to ask Bessent, "If you were still at Soros and saw Treasury intervening like this without any actual fiscal consolidation, what trade would you put on?"
Some random thoughts on yesterday's Treasury buyback announcements:
1. Yield Curve Control works because the central bank can, if needed, buy unlimited amounts of bonds to target a specific yield. Treasury doesn't have that ability. This feels more like trying to support an overvalued FX rate.
