Thesis
Treasury Secretary Bessent is pulling levers to force long-term yields lower, but seasoned investors like Stan Druckenmiller and iCapital's Dan Suzuki say the moves are largely symbolic and insufficient. With national debt above $40 trillion, the market has to absorb a flood of new bonds, and one prominent options trade is betting long-term Treasuries fall further. That means the long-term Treasury bond fund (TLT) is likely to keep losing value, and each failed government intervention removes another layer of support. Shorting long-dated bonds — or owning the inverse fund TBT — is the cleanest way to express the view that yields stay stubbornly high.
