This is a good look at why interest rates are going up, and why it doesn't make any sense for the Fed to be lowering them any time soon, despite Dear Leader's exhortations to the contrary. A reckoning is coming to the AI industry sooner rather than later. edition.cnn.com/2026/10/01/b...

Bond market bust: A key rate just blew through another decades-old record | CNN Business
The bond market is in an unrelenting sell-off. In the latest dubious milestone for US Treasuries, the yield on the 10-year benchmark note just hit its highest level since the dot-com bust.

Referring to Treasury’s ability to intervene in bond markets, Moneywise recalled how Bessent boasted: “I have asymmetric information. I am the house now. Bet against me if you want.” Thirteen days later, he told CNBC anchor Joe Kernen something rather different: “I can’t set the equilibrium price.”
