TREE NEWS reports: Wall Street rate strategists expect the US Treasury to raise the size of its long-dated debt buybacks to as much as $10 billion per operation. Morgan Stanley strategists said that under current cash balance management policy, each of the remaining seven operations this quarter could reach that cap, assuming no additional short-term bill issuance. The Treasury announced in August plans to at least double the scale of its long-term buyback program.

This signals a structural shift in how the Treasury manages its debt footprint, moving more aggressively into buybacks rather than relying solely on new issuance. For the rates market, larger, predictable buyback operations could add a steady bid to long-dated paper, potentially flattening the curve if supply concerns ease. The key watch is whether the Treasury sticks to the $10B cap or pushes beyond it if cash balances tighten, as that would amplify the program's influence on liquidity and dealer positioning.
