Wall Street is gearing up for a massive surge in Treasury bill issuance in the third quarter, that is more than half a trillion dollars. That means the government is borrowing heavily to cover spending, which puts pressure on interest rates and could crowd out private investment.
“Net issuance of Treasury bills in the third quarter is expected to exceed $500 billion, the highest level since 2020.”
