Treasury officials indicated Secretary Bessent could tap the near $1 trillion TGA for off-the-run bond buybacks, though no amounts or announcement timelines were specified.

News detail

The officials would not say how much, if any, of the TGA would be used or when such an announcement could be made. There was no implication it could be used beyond the purchase of off-the-run securities that were the focus of last week's announcement. But they were clear that it is considered to be available.
