Scott Bessent
Discussion centred on Scott Bessent’s interventions in currency and Treasury markets, especially yen support and larger long-end Treasury buybacks. Supporters portrayed him as technically capable and responding to distorted markets, while critics argued that the buybacks suppress fiscal signals, lack firepower, or amount to financial repression. His former boss Stanley Druckenmiller’s criticism became a focal point, alongside disagreement over whether Bessent’s actions are limited debt management or an embryonic form of yield-curve control. 132430
