## Recent evidence

- [confirms] Treasury's Expanded Bond Buybacks Work Against Warsh's Inflation Fight (2026-08-26): The 30-year yield returned to 5.247% within a day of Treasury doubling its long-dated buyback operations to $4 billion, per today's report. That is the intervention-then-reprice pattern the thesis predicts: balance-sheet demand absorbed the supply and the term premium reasserted itself anyway.
- [confirms] Treasury's Doubled Buyback Fails to Pull Down Long Yields, and Money Moves to Hard Assets (2026-08-24): Doubling the buyback to $4 billion per operation did not move the 30-year yield off 5.25 percent, the exact pattern of intervention-without-effect this thesis tracks, with Tokyo now cited as facing the same pressure.
