The desk interprets recent commentary by Padhraic Garvey regarding potential actions by US Treasury Secretary Bessent to lower the 10yr yield, emphasizing that aggressive buybacks and auction cancellations could impact long-end swap rates. Per the full note [source], the current landscape hints that while yields are not excessively high relative to SOFR rates, a significant Treasury market sell-off could provoke a much-needed adjustment. With upcoming targets for EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and USD/JPY also in play, the desk believes the Treasury might be considering interventions, albeit not until absolutely necessary.
