Do you know why Trum...from carldupoin

Do you know why Trump wants very low interest rates in the USA?? Let me explain his desperation using an ongoing situation with the US Treasury Department The news is that the US government sold $654 billion in Treasuries last week across 9 auctions with the highest yield since 2025. #1 Most of these old bills, notes & bonds were maturing this week - Around $500 billion of old T-Bills matured this week (T-Bills have short-term maturities from 4 to 26 weeks) - But the US Treasury does not have cash to repay So it issues NEW DEBT: 1. $500B of new T-Bills 2. Furthermore, $154 billion in notes and bonds were issued, including $50 billion in 10-year notes. Basically, the old debt is paid using new borrowing Why Danger - because the treasury yields are at peak levels (despite Fed rate cuts) - Maturities get shorter - Rollovers become frequent and expensive
