At the same time, the holdings of major foreign creditors—including Japan, China, Germany, and Canada—have remained comparatively stable or shown only minor fluctuations over the same period.\nThis aggressive selling posture by the Fed raises critical questions about the long-term stability of the Treasury market. Costa noted that “no single country or institution has reduced its Treasury holdings more significantly than the Fed in the past three years.”\nAnalyst suggests this trend is unsustainable. As the government’s need for funding continues to grow, the absence of the Fed as a primary buyer creates a structural demand gap.\nCosta argues that this situation is pushing the U.S. into a corner. “Eventually, the Fed—or another arm of the U.S. government—will need to step back in as the dominant buyer of Treasuries, in my view,” he stated.\nSee Also: Shutdown Blocks Jobs Data: Will The Fed Cut Rates In The Dark?\nThis policy shift has led to speculation about the future of U.S. economic strategy. Costa believes the nation is “steadily moving toward a framework of full financial repression,” where the government would take measures to channel funds to itself.\nHe concluded that while ending quantitative tightening is a necessary step, it “does not itself overhaul Treasury demand structurally.”\nThe S&P 500 index ended 0.16% lower at 6,644.31 on Tuesday, whereas the Nasdaq 100 index declined 0.69% to 24,579.32. On the other hand, Dow Jones gained 0.44% to 46,270.46.\nThe SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:SPY) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:QQQ), which track the S&P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, fell on Tuesday. The SPY was down 0.12% at $662.23, while the QQQ declined 0.67% to $598.00, according to Benzinga Pro data.\nOn Wednesday, the futures of the S&P 500, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq 100 indices were trading higher.\nRead Next:\nDisclaimer: This content was partially produced with the help of AI tools and was reviewed and published by Benzinga editors.\nPhoto courtesy: Tanarch on Shutterstock.com","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"-1","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"}}}
