- After the US Treasury announced on Wednesday that it would intensify long-term Treasury buybacks, the 30-year yield briefly retreated by about 10 basis points, but rose again during Thursday's European trading session, indicating persistent market concerns over the fiscal deficit and inflation outlook.
- Analysts pointed out that each buyback, at over $4 billion, is relatively limited in a $32 trillion market, serving more as an official signal to remain vigilant against rising long-term rates rather than fundamentally changing the supply-demand landscape.
- Currently, long-term global bond yields are generally at multi-year highs, driven by factors such as the continuous expansion of national debt levels, rigid growth in defense and welfare spending, and rising inflation expectations. US public debt has already surpassed $40 trillion, and structural imbalances will continue to put pressure on the bond market.
- The US Dollar Index saw a notable decline after the buyback announcement, allowing non-dollar currencies such as the Japanese yen and euro to recover slightly. However, institutional views suggest that without a substantial improvement in fiscal discipline, borrowing costs are unlikely to remain persistently lower.
- Market participants have also begun to discuss the boundary of roles between the Federal Reserve and the Treasury regarding credit conditions, and whether buybacks constitute interference with natural supply and demand, leading to differing interpretations. Future focus will remain on the direction of the fiscal deficit and the evolution of inflation data.
