Before the weekend, President Trump gave markets a jolt by threatening to hit the European Union with 50% tariffs starting June 1. Over the weekend, he extended the deadline to July 9 after a call with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. That fueled a Monday rally in European markets, and a rally here today now that US markets are open again.

So, it’ll have to increase sales of shorter-term securities even as it lowers sales of 20-year to 40-year bonds.
