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

http://wealthcreation.clubLeave a comment
‼️ 🇺🇸 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.

SpaceX’s Bigger Float Could Trigger $15.5 Billion Nasdaq 100 Buying Spree

‼️ 🚀 SpaceX (SPCX) could see strong demand from index-tracking funds after more than 1 billion shares were released from post-IPO restrictions, lifting its public float to nearly 30% from under 10%. Although the $2 trillion-plus company ranks sixth in market value, its Nasdaq 100 weighting is only about 1.25% because Nasdaq caps the influence of firms with limited publicly tradable stock. J.P. Morgan estimates SpaceX’s weight could rise to 2.25% at the quarterly rebalance, triggering roughly $15.5 billion of net passive-fund buying. The changes will be announced Friday and take effect Sept. 21.
