Economists warn the strategy could raise fresh inflation concerns, adding to debate over the Fed's independence.

Treasury action to buy back more long-term debt helped cool a recent bond selloff, according to CNBC Markets.

The outlet said the move also increases the pressure around the Fed, with economists warning it could contribute to renewed inflation risks.

That, in turn, is expected to revive questions about the central bank's independence as market participants assess how Treasury debt-management decisions interact with Fed policy expectations.

CNBC Markets noted that while the bond selloff eased, the longer-run implications for inflation and Fed autonomy remain the key focus for investors.
