US Treasury to Expand Longer-Dated Bond Buybacks as Yields Near Multi-Decade Highs

Forward indicators point to continued coordination between Treasury and primary dealers through year-end. If 30-year yields remain above 4.6 percent into September, additional buyback announcements are likely, with direct implications for equity valuations in export-oriented Asian economies dependent on stable US rates.

⚡ Prediction

US Treasury: 30-year yields will close below 4.55 percent by 30 September 2026 if buyback volumes exceed $25 billion monthly.
