The Ministry of Finance conducted two bond buyback operations. On May 7, the buyback of bonds with a nominal coupon rate and maturities from 10 to 20 years was completed, and on May 8, a short-term buyback of TIPS bonds took place, resulting in a total weekly liquidity support reaching $6 billion.
The U.S. Department of the Treasury stated that the purchases are mainly aimed at outdated securities. These bonds are less actively traded on secondary markets. By buying them back, the government aims to improve liquidity, reduce bond price volatility, and ensure smoother trading conditions.
The Treasury bond market remains a central link in the global financial system. U.S. government bonds serve as key reserve assets and help maintain liquidity in financial markets.
The share buyback coincided with a strong rise in American stocks. In a tweet, analyst Ash Crypto wrote that the Nasdaq reached 29,000 for the first time in history, and the S&P 500 set a new all-time high at 7,400.
Since hitting its low on March 30, U.S. stocks have increased by $10 trillion. Ash Crypto called this market shift positive for cryptocurrencies.
