  "summary": "US long-term bond yields reached three-year highs on Wednesday following Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's bond buyback announcement, which failed to meet market expectations.

Despite Bessent's efforts, market participants remain skeptical, with Société Générale researcher emphasizing that \"Everything else is cosmetic.\"",
