"₹330 Lakh Crore Debt Panic!" US Treasury Steps In to Double Bond Buybacks to $4 Billion as Yields Explode!
In a massive emergency move to calm jittery global debt markets, the US Department of the Treasury has announced that it will double its long-term government bond buyback program from $2 billion to at least $4 billion per operation. The dramatic intervention comes in direct response to a rapid spike in US Treasury yields that threatened to send global borrowing costs soaring, coming right as America's total national debt hurtles toward an eye-watering $40 trillion (nearly ₹330 lakh crore).
Under this aggressive liquidity support operation, the US government is stepping directly onto trading desks to purchase older, less-traded government debt papers maturing between 10 to 30 years. Because investors were dumping older bonds to chase newer issues-causing trading to dry up and bond prices to crash-the Treasury is stepping in as a guaranteed mega-buyer. By injecting billions in fresh cash and taking these older bonds off bank balance sheets, the government aims to restore smooth market plumbing and cool down runaway yields.
