Operation Twist
Commentators broadly describe the Treasury’s buybacks of longer-dated debt funded by additional bill issuance as a Treasury-led version of Operation Twist, intended to remove duration from the market and ease long-term borrowing costs 23101213. They disagree over whether this amounts to yield-curve control or financial repression: some call it a soft or emerging form of yield-curve control 7911, while others stress that it is neither QE nor formal yield-curve control because the Fed is not creating reserves and no specific yield is being defended 281013. Several argue the policy signals fiscal dominance, could be inflationary or dollar-negative, and supports gold and Bitcoin 191013.
