According to CoinMeta, Bentez on Sunday countered external concerns about the growing scale of U.S. debt and criticisms of the U.S. Treasury's measures to manage market volatility, stating that market performance contradicts claims of investor unease. He said, "First of all, I'm not sure where this so-called turmoil in the bond market actually lies," and pointed out that the U.S. bond market has "performed best" among other major global bond markets this year. Bentez also noted that the United States is in a more favorable position compared to many developed economies, as its economy continues to grow despite facing a huge budget deficit. He pointed out that energy prices and inflationary pressures caused by the Iran conflict have pushed up yields, but he expects these factors to subside over time. He added that the rise in yields reflects confidence in the U.S. economy.
