Bessent Doubles Long-Bond Buybacks, Driving Sharp Drop in 30-Year Yields

Aug 20, 2026

They link contained yields to potential weakness in the dollar as a 'sacrificial lamb,' noting recent drops below the 200-day moving average alongside strength in gold, Bitcoin, and the Korean won. The segment closes with discussion of Samsung and SK Hynix announcing large stock buybacks to support their shares amid volatility.
