The U.S. Treasury is expected to announce an increase in government bond supply on Jan. 31, raising questions about whether investor demand can keep pace. Demand for Treasuries dropped in late 2023, with yields peaking in October. However, demand has returned as the Fed's rate hike cycle appears to have peaked, and expectations of rate cuts have grown. Bank of America's Mark Cabana anticipates the Treasury will repeat the auction size increases seen in November. ETFs like iShares U.S. Treasury Bond ETF (GOVT), Schwab Short-Term U.S. Treasury ETF (SCHO), and Schwab Intermediate-Term U.S. Treasury ETF (SCHR) allow investors to track bond price movements. Despite concerns, auction performance has not consistently deteriorated, and a range of investors has shown improved demand for Treasuries.
