Bessent announces Treasury is doubling the size of liquidity support buybacks for 10-to-30-year nominal securities.
“increasing, by at least double, the size of liquidity support buyback operations for longer-dated nominal coupon securities (the 10-year to 20-year sector and the 20-year to 30-year sector).”
Bessent explains the buyback increase responds to consistent strong demand from market participants in longer-dated nominal sectors.
“This increase in buyback operation sizes reflects Treasury’s desire to provide greater liquidity support in longer-dated nominal sectors where there is consistent strong sponsorship from market participants, as evidenced by the significant volume of high-quality offers Treasury routinely receives in longer-dated buyback operations.”
Bessent announces Treasury is doubling buyback operations from $2 billion to at least $4 billion starting September 9, 2026.
“This change is effective September 9, 2026 and will be in effect for the remainder of this refunding quarter (through November 4, 2026).”
