Part of situation: US federal budget deficit reaches $1.99 trillion in FY2026 (15 clusters)

US national debt exceeds $40 trillion, driving bond yield volatility

US national debt Treasury bond yields Scott Bessent debt buybacks fiscal policy

The United States national debt has surpassed the $40 trillion milestone, a threshold reached faster than previous projections suggested. This surge in debt, combined with rising interest rates, has triggered significant volatility in the bond market. Specifically, the yield on 30-year Treasury bonds has climbed to levels not seen since 2007, exceeding 5.3% in some instances.

In response to rising yields and market instability, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that the Treasury Department will at least double its buyback operations for long-term debt, specifically targeting maturities between 10 and 30 years. The goal is to improve liquidity and manage the composition of public debt. However, some market analysts remain skeptical, noting that the scale of these buybacks is small relative to the total market and may not address the underlying causes of rising yields, such as expansive fiscal policy and increased competition for capital from AI-related corporate bond issuances.

Furthermore, the rising cost of servicing the debt is becoming a major fiscal concern, with annual interest payments approaching $1.2 trillion. This creates a potential debt spiral where higher interest costs necessitate more borrowing, further increasing the debt load. While the Treasury has considered using funds from the Treasury General Account to support bond purchases, the market remains cautious regarding long-term fiscal sustainability and the potential for a weakening dollar.
