Implicit Yield Curve Control Is Here
Treasury is at least doubling its long-end buyback cap. They call it liquidity support. I call it implicit yield curve control, and the debt math tells you where this is going.

@TFTC21President Trump on U.S. Bitcoin accumulation: “If you came in with recommendations, I would certainly listen.”
@TFTC21Palantir CEO Alex Karp on the future of business in the AI era: "The companies that get this right will just be the dominant companies, because de facto, it'll be you competing against a frontier lab. And you can win because you have access to things that are outside the model, that are proprietary, that only you understand."

@TFTC21Moderna and Merck used AI to design a personalized mRNA cancer treatment that just succeeded in a Phase 3 trial for melanoma. Combined with Merck's Keytruda, it slowed cancer recurrence in over 1,100 patients who had their tumors surgically removed. AI analyzes a patient's individual tumor mutations, predicts which are most likely to trigger an immune response, and selects the neoantigens to encode into a custom mRNA sequence. No two treatments are the same. The AI application here is worth paying attention to. This is AI doing something no human could do at scale. Analyzing complex biological data and designing individualized treatments in a fraction of the time it would take traditional methods. Worth noting that the same company that pushed mass one-size-fits-all mRNA shots on the entire population is now using AI.
