Treasury Secretary Bessent’s ‘House’ Loses the Bond Game, Yields Set to Ease

Treasury Secretary Bessent told Axios that he has no magic lever to steer the Treasury market.

He acknowledged that the Treasury’s “house” didn’t win the recent bond‑market showdown and said he expects U.S. Treasury yields to drift lower as market forces settle.

Bond traders took the comment in stride, noting that the market will adjust on its own without any grand‑standing from the Treasury.
