Most notably, the traditional equity-bond risk parity dynamic has weakened as Bessent's new Treasury liability management - specifically doubled long-end buybacks targeting 10y–30y duration - has disrupted conventional yield-curve pricing, potentially decoupling fixed income from growth expectations.
