After the U.S. treasury yields surged to levels not seen in nearly 20 years, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that the Treasury would double the size of its government debt repurchases. Treasury Department officials tell CNBC’s Steve Liesman that the plan could be funded by the Treasury’s General Account Fund, or its “rainy day” fund. Trade talks between the U.S. and Canada have collapsed, bringing 50% tariffs into effect on $20 billion worth of Canadian goods coming over the border. U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer explains his own perspective on the negotiations. Nvidia is reportedly considering investing in AI startup Perplexity. Sprout CEO Shelly Li built her company to recycle, refurbish, remarket, and retire GPUs and data centers. Li explains the lifecycle of AI hardware from hyperscalers and the residual value of old chips and underscores power as the biggest constraint in the tech ecosystem.
