The U.S. Treasury, led by Scott Bessent, is simultaneously defending the yen against depreciation under 160 and trying to keep long-term Treasury yields low. This strategy involves selling reserves, mostly dollars and Treasuries, which pressures the long end of the bond market. Since January 2025, the Treasury has retired $372 billion in par value for $345 billion in cash, but this only accounts for a small portion of long-term issuance. The average interest rate on debt has risen by 14 basis points since Bessent's confirmation. Due to these pressures, the analyst advises avoiding long-duration bonds as the battle to stabilize the yen and yields is expected to be challenging and costly.
