The Treasury’s larger buyback cap may improve market plumbing, but it does not change the macro water pressure. With the 10-year yield near 4.7% and markets still described as liquid, the Fed retains room to prioritize inflation rather than respond to bond volatility. Raising the cap for 10- to 30-year bonds from $2B to at least $4B per operation can smooth liquidity and support debt management. My read: if deficits, issuance and inflation expectations are driving the repricing, buybacks may dampen swings without materially lowering the government’s funding costs. Not advice, just analysis. #TreasuryBuybackTest
