US Treasury considers using TGA funds for bond buybacks

US Treasury bond buybacks Treasury General Account Scott Bessent bond yields

The US Treasury is considering using approximately $935 billion from the Treasury General Account (TGA) to fund plans for increasing long-term bond buybacks. This strategy aims to influence the market and manage elevated long-term debt yields.

Recently, the Treasury announced it would at least double the volume of its long-term bond repurchase operations, raising the minimum amount per transaction from $2 billion to at least $4 billion. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent indicated that these transactions could potentially exceed the new $4 billion minimum.

Market reactions to these potential interventions have been mixed. While some analysts suggest the move could act as a 'quasi-quantitative easing,' Morgan Stanley Investment Management has reduced its bets on rising long-term US bond yields following the signals from the Treasury. Barclays estimates that these buybacks could reach an annual total of approximately $64 billion, representing about 15 percent of the supply of 20-year and 30-year bonds.
