二 |     The Federal Trade Commission is proposing a new rule that seeks to eliminate junk fees -- those hidden costs that can unexpectedly push up prices consumers pay at checkout.The proposed rule would apply to many industries across the economy, including event tickets, hotels and apartment rentals. If the rule goes into effect, companies that continue to charge these fees could be fined and forced to pay back consumers.The FTC says the far-reaching rule could save consumers “tens of billions of dollars in fees.”“The proposed rule would prohibit corporations from running up the bills with hidden and bogus fees, requiring honest pricing and spurring firms to compete on honesty rather than deception,” FTC Chair Lina Khan said on a call with reporters.The FTC estimates the proposed rule will save consumers more than 50 million hours per year of wasted time spent searching for the total price in live ticketing and short-term lodging alone. This time savings is equivalent to more than $10 billion over the next decade.There will be a 60-day public comment period once the rule is published in the Federal Register.Senior administration officials, however, did not have guidance on when the rule could be finalized and go into effect.The FTC has the authority to move forward with this rule without additional approval from Congress, officials said.As President Biden continues his push of “Bidenomics” and focuses on the everyday costs that hit American pocketbooks, this is another chance for the president to try to appeal to voters about his economic message. He’s repeatedly highlighted his administration's efforts to tackle these junk fees across a number of sectors -- from air travel to health care.Separately, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is issuing guidance to large banks and credit unions, prohibiting them from charging customers fees for basic information about their accounts, like checking their bank account balance.The CFPB also released a new report showing its crackdown on bounced check fees has saved consumers nearly $2 billion since 2021.。一名记者问他是否指示贝森特进行干预债市，以及这是否是他的主意。“没有，”特朗普回答道，“完全没有。他（贝森特）是一个非常有能力的人。他想这么做。他很擅长这个。他对债券和利率有很好的感觉。”这名记者提到，干预结束后，“收益率又回升了”。记者追问道：“你有没有和他谈过另一种干预？他会这么做吗？”“我们有很多种干预方式，那是其中一种，”特朗普随后的话令人摸不着头脑，“终极干预手段是我们的军队。如果必须使用，我们会用。”

21日，特朗普回答记者提问 视频截图当前，美国长期国债收益率处于历史高位。

三 | 数据显示，30年期国债收益率在8月18日盘中一度突破5.33%，创下19年来新高。美国财政部日前罕见加大对长期国债市场的干预力度。贝森特20日说，可能进一步扩大长期国债回购规模。

四 | 此前，财政部刚刚宣布将把回购规模“至少扩大一倍”。这被视为美国政府对长期债券收益率持续处于高位的“救市”之举。美国长债收益率此后有所下降，但在20日再次明显反弹，30年期国债收益率一度逼近5.30%。
