TREE NEWS reports: JPMorgan analyst Michele urged the US Treasury to eliminate the 20-year Treasury bond, calling it an “orphan” instrument. The recommendation targets a maturity that has drawn limited demand and persistent liquidity concerns. No decision from the Treasury was indicated.
JPMorgan Analyst Calls for US Treasury to Drop 20-Year Bond
The significance here is less about the 20-year bond itself than about the plumbing of the Treasury market: a sell-side analyst publicly questioning whether an existing maturity still earns its place signals that demand and liquidity concerns have moved from trading desks into structural debate. It affects the Treasury's issuance strategy and the dealers and investors who warehouse that maturity. Treasury has given no indication of acting, so the open question is whether this stays a lone analyst view or gains traction among primary dealers and in official issuance discussions.
