What happened
The U.S. Treasury has expanded its repurchase program for longer-dated securities, directing outlays of at least $4 billion as 30-year yields climbed since 2007. Treasury bond repurchases and purchases have been adding new dynamics to the Federal Reserve's monetary policy efforts. Separately, U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent noted that economic growth and spending restraint would quickly slow government borrowing.
