Treasury-Led Financial Repression Is Ushering In A Debasement Regime | Weekly Roundup
"The US Department of the Treasury is increasing by at least double the size of liquidity support buyback operations for longdated nominal coupon securities. the 10 year to 20-year sector and the 20 to 30year sector. The current maximum size of two billion per operation will be at least $4 billion per operations."
The hosts read from what they describe as a new Treasury statement increasing the maximum size of long-dated nominal Treasury buybacks from $2bn to at least $4bn per operation, covering the 10–20 year and 20–30 year sectors. They characterise the move as duration being taken out of the market, with funding coming from increased T-bill issuance, and frame it as a QE-like intervention aimed at preventing long-end yields becoming “unruly”.
