Treasury Secretary: Bond buybacks may top $4B
The U.S. Treasury Department has announced its intention to significantly increase its bond buyback operations, with individual transactions potentially exceeding $4 billion. The goal is to support liquidity in the long-term bond market. This move comes after doubling the maximum limit for buybacks from $2 billion to $4 billion per operation, targeting bonds with maturities of up to 30 years. The government aims to reduce volatility in the bond market and stabilize yields—especially after they reached their highest levels since 2007, with the 30-year bond yield rising to 5.34%. These measures indicate the government's efforts to manage financial pressures and support the financing of public debt, which has approached $40 trillion, without reducing the overall amount of debt itself.
