How does the Federal Reserve affect the Treasury market?

  • Resumen

  • At around $900 billion in transactions daily, the market for U.S. Treasuries is massive, not only in terms of quantity but also in terms of importance to the U.S. and global economies. The Treasury market is tied to interest rates, the value of the dollar, and financial markets around the world. So when shocks hit the Treasury market, as they did during the COVID-19 crisis, the ripple effects can be global. In a new paper, “Treasury market dysfunction and the role of the central bank,” Anil K Kashyap, Jeremy C. Stein, Jonathan L. Wallen, and Joshua Younger explore how the Federal Reserve reacted to the 2020 Treasury disturbance and present a proposal for future action. On this episode of the Brookings Podcast on Economic Activity, Senior Fellow David Wessel is joined by Kashyap to discuss the findings as well as the relevance to recent Treasury market volatility.
