RBC And TD Up Peak Monthly Supply Projections By $20B (2/3)

US TSYS/SUPPLY

RBC see Wednesday's "larger auction size increases as a harbinger of more supply to come", with monthly nominal coupon supply reaching $317B by May 2024 (upped about $20B from their pre-Refunding week preview).

  • They say it's notable Treasury "didn't show any shyness in boosting longer-term issuance .... We note this because we had previously received some pushback that Treasury may go lighter on coupons in favor of heavier bill issuance – still high O/N RRP balances, long-term yields potentially being near cycle highs, and political considerations around the 2024 election have all been cited." They see Bills returning to the 15-20% range of marketable debt by roughly mid-2024.

TD: Now forecasting a peak $301B in nominal coupon issuance by May 2024, representing a $22B increase from their pre-Refunding expectations, TD believes that "risks to higher deficits in the next few years will keep Treasury increasing coupon auction sizes in the next two quarters, albeit at a gradual pace".
