10 year yield already reversed yesterday’s move. Bessent’s messaging seems inconsistent. What is his goal? Long term treasury yields spiked to multi decade highs recently. This appears to have finally prompted a response from the treasury yesterday. Bessent managed to drop the 10y year by 0.1% (a significant 1 day move for the 10y) only to have the move largely reverse today. Bessent has signaled he will regularly buy long term treasuries. Though he claims the action has nothing to do with interest rates being high, buying treasuries does ultimately put pressure on interest rates. I don’t believe for a second the decision to purchase treasuries is unrelated to the spike in yields.
