Treasury Secretary cites global crises for yield rise
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bissent attributed the sharp rise in U.S. Treasury bond yields to global crises and challenges, including the risk of Iran being isolated from the Western financial system, with expectations of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates tomorrow. The yields on ten-year bonds reached a record high since 2007, driven by rising oil prices and competition for liquidity, amidst concerns over ongoing federal budget deficits. Bissent defended debt buyback programs and moves to support the Japanese yen, emphasizing that the strength of the dollar reflects Washington's attractiveness to international investors.
