Fed announces plans to carry out repo operation for second straight day
The New York Federal Reserve announced it would carry out its second overnight repurchasing operation of the week on Wednesday, after it conducted $53 billion of repos on Tuesday morning. The central bank pledged to carry out up to $75 billion of repos on Wednesday. As part of the repurchasing operations, the central bank temporarily buys Treasurys and other highly rated debt from dealers in order to inject liquidity into the system. The decision comes in the wake of a recent spike in repurchasing rates, a short-term borrowing rate utilized by hedge funds and banks. That has, in turn, pushed the fed funds rate to the top of its target range, raising concerns the U.S. central bank is losing control of its benchmark interest rate.

New York Fed carrying out repo operation to keep fed funds rate in target range
The New York Federal Reserve bank said it was carrying out up to $75 billion worth of repuchase agreements, or repo, on Tuesday between 9:30 a.m. Eastern to 9:45 a.m. They said the move would help bring back the central bank's benchmark interest rate, or the federal funds rate, back to its target range of between 2% to 2.25%. Market participants have complained this week that a lack of liquidity in funding markets has pushed the fed funds rate above the interest rate on excess reserves, and that the central bank had lost its grip over short-term interest rates. Analysts say the repurchase operations will boost reserves at banks and help ease funding pressures.

U.S. Treasury yields on pace to see biggest weekly surge in years
This week could see the biggest U.S. bond-market selloff in several years. Traders may be winding down their bullish positions on long-term government debt after a huge rally in recent months, analysts said, while others highlighted more constructive developments on international trade, geopolitics, and the U.S. economy which may be lowering the risk of recession. The 2-year Treasury note yield (BX:TMUBMUSD02Y) is on track Friday for its biggest weekly gain since 2009, after rising 24 basis points this week to trade at 1.769%.

Why negative interest rates are 'seriously dangerous': strategist
President Trump’s latest Twitter escapade against the Fed calls for negative interest rates to jump-start the slowing economy. But the prospect of using a monetary tool usually reserved for deeply-troubled economies has many strategists on Wall Street seriously worried. Butcher Joseph Asset Management Chief Investment Strategist Nancy Tengler believes the practice of implementing negative interest rates is “seriously dangerous.” The “$16 trillion in negative yielding debt around the globe - I don't understand how you account for it as an investor,” Tengler said in an interview on Yahoo Finance’s The Final Round.

What the S&P 500’s dividend yield being higher than the 30-year Treasury yield really means
Bonds in the late 1950s entered a devastating bear market that lasted more than two decades, as bond yields rose by several orders of magnitude — as you can see from the accompanying chart. Many commentators are predicting that this week’s development will presage a similarly devastating bear market for bonds. For insight, I turn to a study into what causes the Treasury yield to be higher or lower than the dividend yield.

30-year Treasury yield jumps after report U.S. Treasury conducts outreach on ultra-long bonds
Long-term Treasury yields jumped after Bloomberg News reported that the U.S. Treasury Department would reach out to market participants on the possibility of issuing ultra-long bonds. The 30-year Treasury bond yield climbed 5.8 basis points to 2.038%. Debt prices move in the opposite direction of yields. The Treasury Department has periodically asked investors about the idea of selling ultra-long bonds with maturities beyond 30 years. Back in 2017, the Treasury asked primary dealers about the potential uptake for bonds ranging between maturities of 40 years to a 100 years.

Trump pledge to impose another 10% tariffs on Chinese imports bolsters rate-cut expectations
Traders' expectations for the Federal Reserve to ease policy rose in the fed fund futures market after President Donald Trump announced plans to impose 10% tariffs on the remaining $300 billion worth of imports that have up to now been untouched by levies. Expectations for the Fed to cut rates by 25 basis points at the September meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee climbed to 70.4%, from 48.6% a day ago, CME Group data show. This comes only a day after Fed Chairman Jerome Powell suggested July's 25 basis point rate cut was more of an insurance policy against global economic risks.
