What happened
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent intervened in the bond market to drive down yields in recent months. This has led to expectations that the Treasury will alter its guidance for US Treasuries issuance. Citigroup Inc. predicts the Treasury will announce cuts to sales of 20- and 30-year bonds this month, violating previous guidance.

Why it matters
Bessent's actions, including unexpected buybacks of outstanding securities, are influencing market views. A shift in the Treasury's issuance guidance could pave the way for changes in debt sales, potentially balancing cuts in long-dated debt with larger auctions of shorter-term notes.
