US Treasury To Borrow $243B More This Spring: Dollar Climbs, Stocks Trim Gains
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
The U.S. Treasury Department plans to borrow $243 billion in Q2 2023, up from an initial estimate of $202 billion, due to lower-than-expected cash receipts. This adjustment led to a slight increase in Treasury yields, a stronger U.S. dollar, and a temporary dip in stock prices. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) experienced a brief decline, while the Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund (UUP) saw a marginal increase.
