Bessent is considering throwing nearly $1 trillion into bond market intervention

Bessent is reportedly considering using the Treasury’s nearly $1 trillion cash balance to expand bond buybacks and pressure long-term yields lower. Pretty clear that keeping borrowing costs contained is a major Trump administration priority as the U.S. refinances an enormous debt load
Reminder: Bessent basically said last week that he’s willing to torch your 401K if that’s what it takes to get long-term yields under control. With the midterms approaching, you have to imagine Trump is in his ear telling him to exhaust every other lever first.
How many more tools do we have to keep that can-kicking going?

Elections are THE most important thing to our political class.

Who are the "sources said"?
Or has Scott said this?

How’s it’s not failed at 40 trillion in debt?

One of the reasons we are screwed

In the last week, Bessent has intervened in yen markets (worked only for a few days), intervened previously in bond markets (worked for a day), is likely intervening in energy markets, and now doing whatever crazy thing stout just posted. I think those are bad signs.

Imagine this administration torching people’s 401ks while the real estate market corrects at the same time, all amid an unnecessary war that could easily be viewed as the final catalyst for a massive recession. Despite the groundwork laid by previous administrations, Trump 2.0 would ultimately shoulder the blame.

Would make Bush’s second term look productive in hindsight.

So we don’t know if this is real, just speculation, but if it is real people are now mad they’re trying something to lower the debt? Unreal, arm chair qb’s will never be happy.
