    Bessent challenged Bloomberg bros to take him on, since he’s the house now, and it’s safe to say he lost that challenge.

    Even if it goes down going forward, Bessent was incredibly reckless. Basic emotions have a surprisingly significant influence on financial markets’ behavior. I won’t be surprised if the rates would have been at least a few basis points lower if it wasn’t for Bessent’s silly bravado.
