BusinessRising Treasury Yield Bets Increase Repo Borrowing Costs
US funding markets face potential disruptions as traders bet on rising Treasury yields by shorting Treasury securities through repurchase agreements. Demand to borrow specific Treasury notes, like the current 10-year note, has driven down overnight loan rates to as low as 2.70%, below general collateral rates. This is notable since the 10-year note is due for a second reopening next week, with supply near $92 billion, including Federal Reserve holdings.
