The US Treasury has announced a $6 billion buyback of 20-to-30-year debt as part of a September 24 liquidity support operation. This move is designed to manage the supply of longer-dated securities and may temporarily cap yields, but it underscores the government's ongoing funding needs. The announcement comes as the 10-year Treasury yield hits a 19-year high, reflecting a market repricing for a hotter, more resilient economy.
