Bessent downplays rising Treasury yields

Tracy Shuchart, independent trader and strategist at Independent / Trader, shared that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent downplayed concerns about the recent rise in U.S. Treasury yields.

Bessent stated that the increase in yields was consistent with global trends and suggested it was not a cause for alarm, despite market fears tied to both yields and potential risks related to an AI bubble.

Shuchart has previously noted that only a major drop in crude oil prices could halt the climb in the U.S. 10 year yield, highlighting the connection between energy markets and rates in a recent commentary. She has also observed that gold ETF holdings are nearing their February 2026 highs despite recent declines in gold prices. These views add context to ongoing market concerns about U.S. yields and risk sentiment.
