Fed's Barkin Warns: Surge in US Treasuries Could Cause Investors to Stop Buying

TechFlow reported on August 26 that, according to Jinshi Data, Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond President Barkin recently issued a clear statement on the U.S. Treasury market. He noted that as the scale of U.S. government debt continues to rise, the supply and demand structure of the current bond market is being tested.

Barkin emphasized that if debt levels continue to increase, investors will inevitably cease purchasing U.S. Treasuries at some point. This statement directly reflects his concern that the expansion of the U.S. fiscal deficit may undermine external financing capabilities. Market participants are now assessing potential shifts in future U.S. Treasury auction demand and interest rate trajectories based on these developments.
