So when you buy something back, the price goes up and the yield goes down.
So this is something.
The Treasury announced because basically the pain threshold for yields going up was crossed.
the problem is fiscal policy, right?
We have deficits that in a non crisis period we don't have COVID, we don't have the pandemic, we have a deficit of seven percent of GDP, give or take.
And if you want yields to come down sustainably.
then that is what you need to rein in.
I would call what we're doing now, this buyback, I would call it financial engineering.
It is really shuffling shuffling the deck chairs.
Totally, Kai.
In fact, markets today are doing very much that.
The dollar is tumbling.
And gold is going through the roof.
Gold and precious metals across the board are up four or five percent.
Bitcoin is up six percent.
So remember, Kai, last year, this time the debasement trade that was all about precious metals got going.
We had crazy rallies in precious metals across the board.
That's what the market is trading, and it is basically trading.
Debasement and fiscal dysfunction.
