John Canavan, an analyst at Oxford Economics, believes that this week’s four-week and eight-week U.S. Treasury bill auctions were both strongly subscribed. The Treasury Department’s announcement of increased long-end curve buybacks may lead to a small hedging increase in Treasury bill issuance, but not enough to significantly weaken demand.

Meanwhile, declining expectations of Federal Reserve rate hikes, coupled with high asset levels in money market funds—and their continuously shortening durations—remain positive factors for short-term Treasury bills.
