Charlie Bilello(@charliebilello):US National Debt has increased by $715 billion since July 1 while the 10-Year Treasury yield has jumped from 4.48% to 4.75%. Washington’s solution? Increase buybacks of longer-dated Treasuries to $4 billion. But swapping longer-maturity debt for shorter-maturity debt doesn’t solve the underlying problem: we’re still borrowing at an alarming pace. Until that changes, the upward pressure on rates will remain. Video:
