🚨 MAJOR: Treasury just announced another $6 billion bond buyback for October 1, and the last one didn't go the way Bessent hoped. The Treasury confirmed today it will purchase up to $6 billion of 10-to-20-year Treasury bonds in a liquidity operation on October 1, the same size as the September 10 operation, itself triple the size of the prior long-dated buyback. Here's the twist most coverage is missing: the September 10 operation was supposed to calm the bond market. It did the opposite. The 10-year yield actually spiked to 4.95%, a multi-year high, the same day Treasury bought $5.19 billion in bonds. Investors had priced in a "shock and awe" intervention of $7-10 billion; when $6 billion showed up instead, the market read it as insufficient and sold off harder. The scale problem is real. A $6 billion buyback against roughly $29 trillion in outstanding Treasury debt works out to about 0.01% of the total market, a number market participants cited directly as proof the operation couldn't meaningfully offset the deeper fundamentals driving yields higher: elevated inflation expectations, growing deficit concerns, and continued heavy issuance. Bessent has called this strategy a "Treasury twist," echoing the Fed's old Operation Twist playbook, aimed at bringing long-term borrowing costs down. The goal is legitimate: buying up older, less-liquid Treasuries to support market functioning. But so far, stronger Treasury demand hasn't translated into lower yields, it's coincided with them climbing to fresh highs. Whether October 1 lands differently depends on size and market expectations once again. If this operation surprises to the upside the way September's disappointed, watch for the same pattern to repeat. #Treasury #Bonds #Yields #Bessent #Markets

🇺🇸 LATEST: Bessent just dared traders to bet against the yen, and there's a wild twist, 34 years ago, he helped Soros do exactly that to a different currency and won $1 billion. Speaking at Southern Methodist University Tuesday, the Treasury Secretary didn't hold back: "I am the house now, so when we intervene with the Japanese yen, I have pretty good insight into what the Japanese, what the Bank of Japan is going to do, what Japanese policymakers are going to do." Then the dare: "And you can bet against me if you want." Pressed on why he'd say something that bold publicly, Bessent didn't dodge: "The advantage I have is asymmetric information." Here's what makes this credible instead of just bravado. On July 31, the US and Japan carried out their first coordinated yen-buying intervention in nearly three decades. Japan's Ministry of Finance confirmed it spent a record 15.4 trillion yen, roughly $98 billion, defending the currency between July 30 and August 26. The result: USD/JPY has fallen from above 163 in July to 153.96 as of September 8, a genuine, sustained move. The irony writing itself: at 29 years old, Bessent was the analyst who convinced George Soros to short the British pound in 1992, the trade that "broke the Bank of England" and netted the firm roughly $1 billion. Now he's on the opposite side of that exact playbook, defending a currency instead of attacking one, coordinating directly with the central bank rather than exploiting its weakness. The live test arrives soon. The Bank of Japan is expected to consider a rate hike at its September 18 meeting, which would support the yen and ease pressure on Japan to keep selling US Treasuries to fund intervention. If Tokyo delivers, Bessent's dare holds. If it doesn't, the man who wrote the rulebook on breaking a cornered central bank finds out if his own rule cuts both ways. #Bessent #Yen #Forex #Japan #Markets

🚨 JUST IN: U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says tariffs do NOT cause inflation In today's House Financial Services Committee hearing (Feb 4, 2026), Secretary Bessent directly responded to questioning: “Tariffs do not cause inflation.” He cited San Francisco #Fed historical data, reiterated that goods inflation remains flat, and pointed to the service economy as the real driver of recent price pressures — not tariffs. Bessent has consistently held this view: tariffs may trigger one-time price adjustments at most, but they are not persistently inflationary. Market takeaway: This firm stance from the Treasury could calm tariff-related fears, support U.S. growth narrative, and keep risk-on sentiment alive — positive for crypto, equities, and global trade flows.

Control over the long end of the yield curve for 10-20-30-year Bonds does not appear to be just an immediate flood of liquidity occurring before the midterm elections.

🚨 JUST IN: Bessent insists the Treasury's bond buyback expansion has nothing to do with interest rates, even as it's already reshaping the bond market and rattling the Fed. Speaking Thursday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the decision to double buybacks of longer-dated debt "had nothing to do with" interest rates, framing it instead as a signal that current yields don't reflect underlying economic fundamentals. He even floated going bigger, buybacks could grow beyond $4 billion per operation. He also confirmed the coordination piece: Treasury and the Fed would work together if the central bank changes its own balance sheet, and buybacks would adjust accordingly if the Fed alters its bond runoff pace. Not everyone is buying the "nothing to do with rates" framing. Wednesday's announcement, doubling buybacks of 10-to-30-year debt to $4 billion per operation, sent yields sliding immediately. By Thursday morning, rates had already climbed back up, exactly the kind of short-lived relief critics warned about. The mechanics are the real controversy. Treasury doesn't print money like the Fed, it has to fund these buybacks by issuing more short-term bills. That effectively swaps long-term debt for short-term debt, manipulating the yield curve rather than truly easing conditions. One fixed-income portfolio manager called it exactly that.

🚨 JUST IN: Bessent insists the Treasury's bond buyback expansion has nothing to do with interest rates, even as it's already reshaping the bond market and rattling the Fed.
Speaking Thursday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the decision to double buybacks of longer-dated debt "had nothing to do with" interest rates, framing it instead as a signal that current yields don't reflect underlying economic fundamentals. He even floated going bigger, buybacks could grow beyond $4 billion per operation.
He also confirmed the coordination piece: Treasury and the Fed would work together if the central bank changes its own balance sheet, and buybacks would adjust accordingly if the Fed alters its bond runoff pace.
Not everyone is buying the "nothing to do with rates" framing.
Wednesday's announcement, doubling buybacks of 10-to-30-year debt to $4 billion per operation, sent yields sliding immediately. By Thursday morning, rates had already climbed back up, exactly the kind of short-lived relief critics warned about.
The mechanics are the real controversy. Treasury doesn't print money like the Fed, it has to fund these buybacks by issuing more short-term bills. That effectively swaps long-term debt for short-term debt, manipulating the yield curve rather than truly easing conditions. One fixed-income portfolio manager called it exactly that.

Whether this is smart debt management or the Treasury quietly doing the Fed's job for it, the market reaction already answered part of the question.

📈 Bessent and the 'Dollar Fortress': What Does This Mean for the Market and Crypto? Potential U.S. Treasury Secretary candidate Scott Bessent has proposed a significant initiative: to expand the permanent dollar swap lines to key partners in the Gulf region and Asia. 🌍 Currently, the Fed's 'elite club' includes only 5 central banks (EU, Japan, UK, Canada, and Switzerland). Why does Bessent want to change this? 1️⃣ Geopolitical Shield: This is a direct response to emerging alternative payment systems (like the BRICS payment framework). Bessent aims to make it easier for allies to access dollars, thereby removing their motivation to seek alternatives. 2️⃣ Liquidity Over Everything: Permanent swap lines can mitigate the risk of a 'dollar drought' during crises. For the market, this means greater stability and predictability. 3️⃣ Signals for Crypto: As the U.S. solidifies the dominance of fiat dollars through administrative means, it highlights the importance of decentralized assets. If fiat becomes a tool of 'soft power,' demand for neutral assets (like BTC) may further increase. In summary: Bessent is planning for the long haul, trying to solidify the dollar's position as the world’s primary reserve currency in an era of multipolarity. What do you think? Can this help the dollar withstand the impact of new settlement systems, or is it merely delaying the inevitable trend? 👇 #Bessent #Fed #宏观经济 #全球金融 #加密新闻 {spot}(BTCUSDT)
