What happened

Well supportedReported by 4 independent outlets

Senator Elizabeth Warren sent a letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent criticizing the Treasury's handling of rising 10-year Treasury yields, which had reached roughly 5.3 percent. Warren argued that higher yields increase borrowing costs for the federal government and American households. Bessent responded by stating that Warren showed a "complete paucity of knowledge about financial markets", and suggested she study introductory economics.
