The Treasury's bond buybacks, known as the 'Bessent Bid', have not stopped the surge in Treasury and mortgage rates. The intervention, intended to stabilize markets, has instead raised concerns about inflation. The Wall Street Journal notes that bond yields have steadied, but the intervention has not convinced investors.
The Los Angeles Times and CNBC both emphasize that the bond gambit has not achieved its intended effect. The Associated Press notes that world shares are mixed and US futures are edging higher, while oil prices slip. The Treasury's intervention has not yet convinced investors.
The exact reasons for the failure are not yet clear.
