The AI's read

Treasury doubled long-end buybacks to at least $4bn per operation. Yields dropped and TLT rallied about 1.3% pre-open. The market already moved, TLT +1.38% and RSI ~48 so not stretched. The buybacks are a swap funded by shorter-term bills, so impact may be temporary. We lean bullish on TLT as the operation should cap selling in the long end. Keep size moderate because the program is time-limited and market regime is neutral.
