  • The U.S. Treasury will expand its debt buyback operations from at least $2 billion to at least $4 billion per operation beginning Wednesday.
  • The buybacks cover nominal coupon securities in the 10-to-20-year and 20-to-30-year maturities and are scheduled to run through Nov. 4.
  • The Treasury is also scheduled to reopen a 30-year bond on Sept. 10, with its yield near a 19-year high.

Investors will focus again on U.S. government debt as the Treasury expands repurchase operations designed to ease pressure on long-term yields, which raise borrowing costs for consumers.

Starting Wednesday, the department led by Scott Bessent plans to at least double the amount spent on each operation, from $2 billion to at least $4 billion. The buybacks will target nominal coupon securities in the 10-to-20-year and 20-to-30-year segments and are scheduled to continue through Nov. 4.

The Treasury has also scheduled a reopening auction for a 30-year bond on Sept. 10. Its yield has continued to move between 5.24% and 5.25%, keeping it close to its highest level in 19 years.

The debt-market focus follows a meeting of the Federal Reserve, though the supplied report ends before giving further details about that development.
