- Scott Bessent doubled down on Treasury's bond market intervention, saying the department could make additional moves beyond what was first announced.
- Treasury bond buybacks may end up larger than the initial plan, and analysts are on edge after a rise in interest rates hit a 'raw nerve' at the White House.
Why it matters: For bond investors, the scale of Treasury operations directly shapes yields across the curve; Bessent telegraphing that buybacks could expand suggests the White House views rising rates as an urgent political constraint, not just a market technicality.
