A state refinery and oil products distribution official said on Aug 20 that most gasoline capacity damaged during the war has been restored and, with refineries continuing to ramp up output, Iran's total gasoline daily capacity has reached about 130 million liters.

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.
