BofA Warns Risk Assets Face Short Selling Pressure If Long-Term Debt Buyback Fails
2026-08-21 18:52

Woofun AI reports that Bank of America strategist Hartnett stated that if Treasury efforts to manage long-term bond yields fail, the U.S. dollar will face pressure. This scenario could trigger short selling bets on risk assets ahead of the mid-November elections. Hartnett noted that if Treasury Secretary Bessent cannot lower the 30-year yield below 5%, the dollar is expected to decline. Consequently, risk assets, including financial stocks and AI mega-cap companies, may become targets for short selling.
