US long-term borrowing costs ease after Treasury boosts debt buybacks to $4bn
AI Market Summary
US Treasury announced it will at least double long-dated debt buybacks to $4bn (Sep 9–Nov 4) after 30-year yields hit a ~20-year high, helping ease long-end rates. The action targets liquidity and term-premium pressure driven by oil-led inflation concerns and heavy sovereign/corporate borrowing needs, but may offer limited durable relief versus the scale of outstanding debt. Fed minutes signaled persistent inflation concerns and potential further tightening.

US long-term borrowing costs eased after the 30-year Treasury yield hit a near 20-year high of 5.34% on Tuesday. The Treasury said it will at least double its buyback operations to $4bn from $2bn, running from 9 September to 4 November. After the announcement, the 30-year yield fell to 5.18%. Analysts said the government is concerned that persistently high long-term yields would raise borrowing costs for both the public and private sectors, while the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate stands at 6.67%.
