For U.S. Treasury dealers, Wednesday will be a bit like "Groundhog Day." Just as they have been doing for over a year, they will closely monitor whether the U.S. Treasury will adjust its guidance in its latest debt issuance plans. Investors will pay attention to whether the Treasury adjusts its wording in the quarterly refunding statement regarding the expectation that "at least over the next few quarters" there will be no increase in the issuance of medium-term and long-term bonds. Although the cost of longer-term U.S. Treasury bonds is currently higher than short-term bonds, relying on Treasury securities to sustain annual deficit financing of nearly $2 trillion also has its own risks.
