The US Treasury has tripled its buyback limit for long-term government debt, increasing the per-operation ceiling to $6 billion.

The US Treasury's 10-year note auction on September 9 raised $39 billion with the highest demand since 2016.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent expanded the bond buyback program to at least $4 billion per operation, but yields hit a three-year high.

Japan's five-year government bond auction on June 22 showed a decline in demand as investors worry about yen weakness and potential rate hikes.
