Netherlands International: ten-year return on United States debt is 4.5 per cent short-term

On 27 August, Padhraic Garvey and Michel Tukker of the Netherlands International stated that the United States might face greater difficulties in reducing its 10-year national debt return by 4.5 per cent in the short term. The Head of American Studies and Senior Interest Rate Strategyer, Tukker, stated that the United States Treasury had won the first race to lower long-term United States debt return, “but more will come later”. They stated: “As a whole, if the purpose of the buy-back plan is to force structurally low rates of return on long-term United States debt, then there will be a hard fight in the future.” As a result, they expect that the return on United States debt for the 10-year period will not fall by 4.5 per cent, “the pressure to rise to 4.75 to 5 per cent remains in place”. They expect that the current 10-year rate of return on United States debt will remain within 4.5-5 per cent. Kim Xian
