Bessent touts bond market as 10-year Treasury yield spikes

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is downplaying concerns over a global bond sell-off and spiking 10-year Treasury yields. Bessent argues that US bonds are outperforming other global markets and that current yields reflect stronger growth and inflation expectations that are flat to down. However, recent gains have been erased as 30-year yields returned to levels seen before Bessent expanded a Treasury buyback program last month to stabilize the market.
