In recent months, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has not been afraid to intervene in the bond or foreign exchange markets.

The Treasury also plans to repurchase as much as $6 billion of longer-dated Treasuries at its next operation on Sept. 10, triple the normal amount, in an attempt to curb Treasury yields. While the moves have received their fair share of criticism, Bessent seems to have no plans to back down.
"... I am the house now," said Bessent, during a speech in front of Southern Methodist University's business school on Sept. 8. "So when we intervene with the **** anese yen, I have pretty good insight what the **** anese, what the Bank of **** an is going to do, what **** anese policymakers are going to do. Bet against me if you want."

A former Carolina Panthers defender has himself a new team.
As announced on Tuesday, the Arizona Cardinals have signed defensive end Jared Harrison-Hunte to their practice squad. The second-year lineman was waived as part of the Panthers' cutdown to their initial 53-man roster on Sunday.
Carolina signed Harrison-Hunte as an undrafted free agent in the spring of 2025, after his lone year at Southern Methodist University. The 6-foot-4, 294-pounder amassed 42 combined tackles (8.5 for a loss) and 6.5 sacks for the Mustangs en route to a first-team All-ACC selection.
Harrison-Hunte would spend much of the 2025 campaign on the Panthers' practice squad, and did not appear in a regular-season game.
The Cardinals got an up-close look at the 26-year-old back on Aug. 6, during the Hall of Fame Game. Harrison-Hunte recorded a sack of rookie quarterback Carson Beck in Carolina's 33-30 win.

We still don't know if Aaron Donald will be making an NFL comeback or not, but Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay provided a couple updates on the situation Friday.
Speaking with reporters at Rams training camp at Loyola Methodist University, McVay said there would be no firm decision until the Rams have returned to their facilities at Woodland Hills on Aug. 7. However, the odds of Donald comeback are apparently better than they were a week ago:
"There have been conversations that we've had, we've loosely had some different timelines that are kinda temporary. I want to keep those between us if something unforeseen happens, out of respect for him and the situation.
"I know this: things are going in the right direction and if there's an arrow, it's trending upwards."
Rumors of a potential Donald comeback have been circulating for months, especially when the man himself told ESPN's Pat McAfee he was "for sure" thinking about a comeback following the Rams' blockbuster trade for Myles Garrett.

As the Denver Broncos prepare for the 2026 season, they have a lot of positives going for the franchise. One of them would be their defensive line. Once a position group with a lot of questions marks, it has ascended to one of the best units in the National Football League over the past few seasons.
The departure of John Franklin-Myers in free agency may have an impact on the group’s performance for the upcoming gridiron campaign. Though the Broncos are hoping a combination of young players they have drafted over the past several seasons can offset the loss of Franklin-Myers.
One player hoping to make the squad is defensive lineman Jordan Miller. At the conclusion of the 2024 NFL Draft, the Broncos signed Southern Methodist standout and gave him one of the biggest signing bonuses from that cycle. For the past two seasons, Miller has been a practice squad player for the Broncos. After two years learning the ropes, is Miller finally ready to earn a spot on Denver’s final 53-man roster? Let’s discuss.
SMU defensive tackle Jordan Miller is signing with #Broncos as undrafted rookie, per source. #9sports
