US Treasury To Borrow $243B More This Spring: Dollar Climbs, Stocks Trim Gains
The U.S. Treasury Department has revised its marketable borrowing expectations upward for the April-June quarter of 2023, increasing the figure to $243 billion from an earlier estimate of $202 billion.
美国财政部上调了2023年4月至6月季度的有价借款预期，将这一数字从先前估计的202亿美元增加到2430亿美元。
This adjustment, driven by lower-than-predicted cash receipts, had sparked some market reactions by the end of the session Monday.
由于现金收入低于预期，这一调整在周一交易日结束时引发了一些市场反应。
What happened: The U.S. Treasury now expects to borrow $243 billion through the issuance of marketable debt securities, according to an official press release on Monday. That marks an increase of $41 billion from the prior estimates.
发生了什么：根据周一的官方新闻稿，美国财政部现在预计将通过发行有价债务证券借款2430亿美元。这标志着比先前的估计增加了410亿美元。
In addition, the department provided an update on its Q1 activities, noting that it borrowed $748 billion in net marketable debt and concluded the quarter with a cash balance of $775 billion. These figures compare favorably to previous forecasts, with the borrowing amount being $12 billion less and the cash balance $15 billion higher than expected at the end of Q4 2023.
此外，该部门提供了其第一季度活动的最新情况，指出其借入了7,480亿美元的净有价债务，本季度末的现金余额为7,750亿美元。这些数字与先前的预测相比良好，2023年第四季度末的借款金额比预期减少了120亿美元，现金余额增加了150亿美元。
Why This Matters: The increase in borrowing requirements, though seemingly minor at $41 billion, hints at potential larger fiscal challenges for the U.S. government.
为什么这很重要：借款需求的增加虽然看似微不足道，达到410亿美元，但暗示着美国政府可能面临更大的财政挑战。
The main concern for markets and policymakers is the impact of a larger fiscal deficit. As the Treasury issues more bonds to cover this deficit, the market must absorb an increased supply at a time when the Federal Reserve is reducing its holdings of U.S. government debt.
市场和决策者最关心的是更大的财政赤字的影响。随着美国财政部发行更多债券以弥补这一赤字，在美联储减少其持有的美国政府债务之际，市场必须吸收增加的供应。
Market reactions: Following the announcement, immediate market reactions included a marginal rise in Treasury yields, a stronger greenback, and a brief decline in stock prices.
