U.S. stocks surged Tuesday, recouping steep losses from the previous session, as investors bet on easing trade tensions between the U.S. and China.  The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1,009 points, or 2.7%, while the S&P 500 gained 2.4% and the Nasdaq Composite climbed 2.5%.

These bonds don’t trade as frequently, so buying them back could help smooth out the bond market while offering arbitrage opportunities for institutional investors. Hayes points out that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent will probably rely more on bond issuance and buybacks to maintain market stability, given…
