Bessent Defends Bond Buybacks as Treasury Yields Hit 19-Year High - legis1.com
Why now
Thesis: Long-end yields at 19-year highs pressure duration assets
Catalyst to watch: Next Treasury auction demand and buyback schedule
Main risk: Buybacks fail to cap rising long-end yields
Why it matters
Buybacks are a technical demand support for Treasuries; defending them while yields sit at multi-decade highs signals stress in the long end rather than a fix.
