Why Government Bonds Are Becoming Less Liquid
from Government Spending with Fexingo: Budget, Deficits, and Public Finance Explained · host Fexingo
In Episode 60 of Government Spending with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna drill into a quiet crisis in the $28 trillion US Treasury market — declining liquidity. They unpack how post-2008 regulations, the rise of high-frequency trading, and the US government's own massive debt issuance have made it harder to buy and sell bonds without moving prices. Lucas explains the 'bid-ask spread creep' and what the Bank for International Settlements warns is a fragile market structure. Luna challenges whether the Fed's emergency backstops are a permanent crutch. A focused look at a plumbing problem that could break the world's safest asset. #TreasuryMarket #BondLiquidity #GovernmentBonds #MarketStructure #HighFrequencyTrading #Regulation #BankForInternationalSettlements #FederalReserve #FiscalPolicy #DebtManagement #BidAskSpread #RepoMarket #CentralBanking #Economics #GovernmentSpendingWithFexingo #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #PublicFinance Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
