Overview: The decision by the Treasury to end issuance of 30-year debt caught markets by surprise. This surprise was more about timing, however, than any fundamental news about fiscal policy or debt supply. Treasury's announcement did not make a material change to the likely supply of long Treasury bonds. Treasury has clearly become a price-sensitive debt manager. This should affect future yield curve dynamics. Price action in the bond market around the time of the announcement, is a poor guide to the long run implications of a decline in the quantity of long Treasuries. This article tells us about the effect of the treasury decision on the market equities.
