Scott Bessent seeks to calm a sell‑off in long‑term Treasuries by boosting buybacks from $2bn to at least $4bn and signaling the possibility of more tools; while the move may ease liquidity pinch points, it isn’t a substitute for policy on debt, and yields could remain pressured by deficits, global demand for capital, and geopolitical risk.
