Treasury bond market

The Treasury bond market involves the buying and selling of long-term debt securities issued by the U.S. government tofund public spending. Investors purchase these bonds, effectively lending money to the government, which promises to pay back the principal with interest over time—typically 10 years or more. This market provides a stable, low-risk investment option and helps finance government operations. Prices and yields of Treasury bonds fluctuate based on economic conditions, interest rates, and investor demand, making the market an important indicator of economic outlook and financial stability.
