Operation "Treasury Twist" — Can Washington Stop Yields From Rising? - 09/09/26 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The bond market is sending Washington a message—and the Treasury is fighting back. Long-term Treasury yields have been climbing sharply, pushing borrowing costs higher and putting pressure on everything from mortgages and corporate debt to stock-market valuations. Now the U.S. Treasury is stepping in. On today's TraderMerlin, we'll look at what I'm calling Operation "Treasury Twist"—the Treasury's decision to dramatically increase its purchases of longer-dated government bonds in an effort to im
Oil Surge! — Is $100 Crude Coming? - 09/08/26 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Oil is surging again—and geopolitical risk is back in the driver's seat.

The Beige Book! - 09/02/26 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Federal Reserve just released one of the most overlooked—and potentially revealing—reports on the U.S. economy. It's called the Beige Book. No, it's probably not going to make anyone's bestseller list. 📖 But if you're trying to figure out what the Fed might do next with interest rates, it's definitely worth paying attention to. On today's episode of TraderMerlin, we're digging into the latest Beige Book and looking for clues about what Fed officials will be considering when they meet again o
