Bessent’s Bond-Market Remedy: Treasury Buybacks to Cool the Fever, Not Cap Yields

‼️ 🇺🇸 Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the Treasury’s expanded buyback program for older US government bonds is intended to ease a “fever” in the market and help restore equilibrium—not to alter the underlying level of yields. Speaking ahead of the first scheduled longer-dated buyback operation since the program was increased last month, Bessent rejected claims that the initiative amounts to quantitative easing or is a response to concerns over heavy US borrowing. Instead, he characterized it as a Treasury-led version of the Federal Reserve’s former “Operation Twist,” aimed at improving market functioning and smoothing distortions across the yield curve.
