Report To The US Secretary Of The Treasury From The Treasury Borrowing Advisory Committee

Date 01/11/2023

Dear Madam Secretary:

Since the TBAC last convened in early August, ten-year Treasury yields have traded in nearly a 100bp range and remain near the highest levels of the past 15 years. Over the same period, two-year Treasury yields have been more stable, but have still traded in a 45bp range. Several factors have likely contributed to the rise in longer-term yields. For example, strong activity and labor market data, the possibility that the neutral rate of interest is now higher, supply-demand dynamics and the return of a positive “term premium” in long-dated Treasury securities have all likely contributed to a certain degree.
