Treasury Buybacks Fail to Calm Bond Market
Context
The Treasury’s surprise decision to at least double buybacks of longer-dated US debt briefly pushed yields lower, but much of that move quickly reversed as investors questioned whether the intervention can overcome inflation and fiscal concerns. PIMCO Executive VP, Market Strategist and Generalist Portfolio Manger Tony Crescenzi and Host of Bloomberg Money Tom Keene join Bloomberg This Weekend to discuss how markets are now looking to Fed Chair Kevin Warsh’s Jackson Hole speech for clues on rates and how the central bank will respond to Treasury’s increasingly active role in the bond market.
