U.S. Treasury Securities

U.S. Treasury Securities are government-issued financial instruments that help fund federal projects and manage national debt. They include Treasury bills (short-term), notes (medium-term), and bonds (long-term), each varying in duration and interest rates. Investors purchase these securities to earn interest over time, with the government backing them as they are considered very safe. Because they are backed by the "full faith and credit" of the U.S. government, they are a popular choice for conservative investors seeking stability and low risk. Treasury securities also help set benchmarks for interest rates in the broader financial market.
