WASHINGTON, DC - SEPTEMBER 15: U.S. Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) questions U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent during an annual House Committee on Financial Services hearing on the state of the international financial system in the Rayburn House Office Building on September 15, 2026 in Washington, DC. Despite Bessent ordering the Treasury Department to buy back $5.2 billion of long-dated debt, the yield on 10-year Treasury bonds surpassed 5 percent on Monday for the first time since 2023 and only the second time since the 2008 financial crisis.
