Core PCE at 3.2% gives him no room to be dovish.

Treasury doubles long-bond buybacks. Gold hits $4,677. Bitcoin clears $80K. Then a $58M bearish gold-options trade appears.
The debasement trade just met its first serious skeptic.

The Treasury doubled 10-30Y buybacks to at least $4B, pulling the 30Y yield down 6bp to 5.216% after it breached 5.30%.
Druckenmiller calls it dangerous suppression.

Much talk, no substance. Bessent named no targets, gave no timeline, and dodged China repeatedly. This looks like the off-ramp: Trump can pull back militarily, claim victory, and say he’ll crush Iran economically. A few sanctions for show; no real escalation.
U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent Holds Press Conference on Economic D-Day xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1MJgNbaZp…
Bessent's 'most crushing' Iran operation has Tehran threatening a full Hormuz shutdown.
Parliament just approved charging transiting ships. Brent slipped to $93.17 after a 6.6% weekly gain.

“The ultimate intervention is our military” - you have to hear it to believe it!
The week's defining force was a failed Treasury buyback.
The 30-year hit multi-decade highs. That turned the trade from supply to a fiscal referendum.
Gold through $4,600.
The week in one place. Or listen — 9 min.

The Treasury tried to stop a bond selloff by buying its own bonds.
Long yields rose anyway.
JPMorgan's read: "paying your mortgage with your credit card."
Gold and bitcoin took the hint.

Worth reading the full thread: Physical scarcity is meeting financial repression. Commodities sit at the intersection.
Wake up, folks. Commodities are telling you something, and yesterday the Treasury confirmed it.
Scarcity in the physical world. Repression in the financial one.
Scarcity pushes prices up. Repression holds yields down. The gap between them is the debasement.
Commodities are the only asset class that wins on both sides.
The structural case for commodities has been turbo charged. Underinvestment, deglobalization and electrification all pushing markets like diesel cracks and copper to new highs.
Meanwhile the chokepoints are increasing, from Hormuz to the Red Sea, the Rhine, the Panama Canal, the Black Sea grain corridor and Russian refining capacity. It is becoming increasingly apparent that not a single one of those is reachable by anything in Washington's toolkit whether it be caused by war or weather.
The illusion of abundance is likely behind us. I said as much on CNBC this Monday, and I got long gold, silver and agriculture last week.
Ten points for you to consider. (1/11)
