Tiny Buybacks, Big Market Headwinds: The Limits of a Treasury Yield Fix

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced an expansion of long-term debt buybacks to at least $4 billion per operation (Sept. 9–Nov. 4) to ease a selloff in 10- and 30-year Treasuries. Markets briefly rallied, but yields soon drifted higher again, underscoring analysts’ view that the move is a limited liquidity fix rather than a cure for the broader forces pushing up long-term borrowing costs—inflation, deficits, and other fiscal and global pressures ahead of the midterms.

Regulators propose stricter rules for regional banks, including changes to 'living wills' and debt levels

Federal financial regulators, including the Federal Reserve, FDIC, and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, have proposed new rules for larger banks' "living wills" and long-term debt holdings in response to the recent regional banking crisis. One proposal requires banks with $100 billion or more in assets to maintain a layer of long-term debt to enhance financial stability and facilitate the resolution of potential failures. The second proposal revises guidance for bank holding companies and foreign banks with over $250 billion in assets, focusing on areas of vulnerability in capital, liquidity, and operational capabilities. The proposals have received mixed reviews from industry trade groups, with the American Bankers Association opposing the rules and the Independent Community Bankers Association supporting the long-term debt requirement. Public comments on the proposals are due by November 30, 2023.

US regulators implement cost-reducing rules for bank failures, impacting regional banks and liquidity requirements

US financial regulators have approved new rules aimed at reducing the cost of bank failures. The rules include a requirement for banks with at least $100 billion in assets to issue around $70 billion in long-term debt to absorb losses in case of insolvency. This is intended to prevent banks from tapping into the FDIC's Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF). The FDIC also proposed a rule that would force banks to disclose more details on how they could be managed if they were to fail. Critics argue that these rules could harm banks and restrict financing to small businesses.
