After a turbulent stretch for the US bond market, traders are heading into the weekend with questions about what Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s next move will be. Treasuries slipped Friday, led by the short end, after data showed business activity grew at its fastest pace in more than four years, backing the case for interest-rate hikes. Bloomberg Intelligence's Ira Jersey and Alpine Saxon Woods' Sarah Hunt break down the weeks' moves, and the impact of Bessent's intervention.
