US Treasury Secretary Bessent this year has taken an unusually interventionist stance to curb rising US borrowing costs, including a move this week to "at least double" planned buybacks of 10-yr and 30-yr Treasuries. Treasury had earlier signaled it might reduce long-term debt issuance; on July 31 Bessent led the US government’s first yen purchase in 30 years. Former Treasury official Mark Sobel called Bessent "absolutely an aggressive interventionist," saying his hedge-fund background is evident and senior officials are clearly worried about rising long-term yields. Rising 10-yr yields — driven by inflation, Fed policy and fiscal deficits — have pushed mortgage rates higher and weighed on growth; analysts say Bessent appears to be attempting yield-curve intervention to stabilize markets but warn it is unlikely to succeed long-term without addressing high debt and deficits.
