The Treasury announced an increase in its Treasury buyback program from $2 to $4 billion per operation. This is not the first time buybacks have been used to support the Treasury market, yet this action suggests plumbing problems in the Treasury market. Past buybacks have focused on ensuring more Treasury market liquidity. We expect the same for this program, but it also means the Treasury will be an active liquidity provider in the Treasury market.
