The Odd Lots newsletter from Bloomberg Markets, hosted by Joe Weisenthal and Tracy Alloway, examines the potential issues with Treasury buybacks conducted under the guise of providing liquidity. The article highlights recent comments from Scott Bessent, the US treasury secretary, who stated during a television interview outside the White House in Washington, DC, that the US will soon unveil a plan to economically isolate Iran and its trading partners. This follows President Donald Trump's threat of an "economic D-Day" to resolve the Middle East stalemate.
