For those wondering why we really need yields to drop.

  • Nearly $3 trillion of U.S. debt is expected to hit maturity in 2025, much of it of a short-term nature.
  • That could provide another headache should the market not be prepared to absorb what already is expected to be massive Treasury issuance as the U.S. finances a nearly $2 trillion budget deficit.

As if the bond rout in 2024 wasn’t bad enough, fixed income investors face multiple challenges in the year ahead, including one under-the-radar worry about short term notes coming due.

Nearly $3 trillion of U.S. debt is expected to hit maturity in 2025, much of it of a short-term nature that the Treasury Department has been issuing in large amounts over the past few years.
