The Fed Was Supposed to Hold Next Week. One Inflation Report Just Put a Hike Back in Play.
2+ day, 14+ hour ago (307+ words) Federal Reserve officials were already heading into next week’s meeting divided over whether inflation had cooled enough to leave rates alone. Thursday’s producer-price report made that decision harder: wholesale prices rose 5.4% from a year earlier in August, and traders pushed…...
The Treasury Market Is Sending A Warning That Weak Economic Data Can’t Fix
3+ day, 23+ hour ago (425+ words) Weak economic data is supposed to pull long-term interest rates down. Instead, Treasury yields have been climbing, and Brookings Institution senior fellow Robin Brooks says that reversal is evidence that demand for U.S. government debt is weaker than it looks. That…...

1+ week, 14+ hour ago (483+ words) President Donald Trump responded to an unexpectedly strong August jobs report with an unusual ultimatum for Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh: lower interest rates or he could stop trading with countries that run surpluses against the United States. The threat…...
Scott Bessent’s Bond Rally Is Gone. The Market Is Back Where He Started.
1+ week, 3+ day ago (216+ words) Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent shocked the bond market on Aug. 19 by doubling planned purchases of long-dated government debt, briefly pushing the 30-year Treasury yield sharply lower.

Warsh Told Markets To Stop Waiting For The Fed To Tell Them What Happens Next
1+ week, 4+ day ago (530+ words) Kevin Warsh used his first Jackson Hole speech as Federal Reserve chair to deliver a message markets could price immediately: inflation is still too high, financial conditions aren't obviously restrictive and another rate increase remains firmly on the table. The…...
Michael Barr Says The Fed Should Raise Rates If Inflation Won’t Cooperate
1+ week, 4+ day ago (500+ words) Federal Reserve Governor Michael Barr put a straightforward condition on the Fed’s September decision Tuesday: if inflation isn’t cooling fast enough, policymakers should raise interest rates. “If inflation appears not to be moderating sufficiently, then I think we should act…...
Scott Bessent Calls It A Bond Buyback. Charlie Bilello Calls It Debt Reshuffling.
2+ week, 4+ day ago (277+ words) “This is debt reshuffling, not debt reduction,” Bilello said. His objection goes directly to the tension inside Bessent's intervention. Treasury wants to improve liquidity and ease pressure at the long end of the yield curve without pretending that buying outstanding…...
Kevin Warsh Wanted The Fed To Say Less. Jackson Hole Is Forcing Him To Say More.
2+ week, 4+ day ago (344+ words) The tension is unusually personal for a central-bank communications dispute. Warsh wants investors to rely less on Fed guidance and more on economic data, but economists and traders aren't merely asking him to predict the next interest-rate decision. They want…...

BofA Says Bessent Needs To Get The 30-Year Treasury Below 5%
3+ week, 1+ day ago (316+ words) Bank of America strategist Michael Hartnett has put a number on Scott Bessent’s bond-market problem: 5% on the 30-year Treasury yield. If the Treasury secretary’s expanding buyback program can’t push long rates below that threshold, Hartnett expects pressure to spread beyond…...
