US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is set to discuss key economic concerns including rising 10-year Treasury yields, increasing fuel prices linked to the Iran conflict, and risks from artificial intelligence in an upcoming CNBC interview. The Treasury recently conducted a $5 billion buyback of 10- and 20-year notes to counter rising yields, which have climbed above 5% for the first time since 2007, impacting long-term borrowing costs like mortgages. Bessent also met with Chinese officials ahead of a summit between Presidents Trump and Xi, signaling openness to cooperation on AI risks. These developments come amid political pressures on the Trump administration as inflation and fuel costs worry consumers and lawmakers ahead of the midterm elections.
