TREE NEWS reports: The US Treasury raised its single long-bond buyback to $6 billion from a previously announced $4 billion, yet the 10-year Treasury yield climbed to 4.85% on September 10, its highest since November 2023, with the 30-year above 5.3%. US August PPI rose 0.4% month-on-month and 5.4% year-on-year, while July was revised up to 0.1%. Markets now price a 74% chance of a September Fed hike, and August CPI is due tonight.
US Treasury Doubles Buyback to $6B, 10-Year Yield Hits 4.85%
AI take
The Treasury's bigger buyback is a liquidity gesture, but the market's reaction — yields rising anyway — suggests it is being read as a sign of stress rather than support. Hot PPI and a majority-priced September Fed hike explain the move; the buyback simply isn't the lever that sets the long end right now. The open question is whether tonight's CPI confirms the inflation impulse, or whether the long end is already overpricing the Fed.
