United States Treasury Auctions

United States Treasury Auctions are events where the federal government sells debt securities—like Treasury bills, notes, and bonds—to raise funds for government activities. Investors, including individuals, banks, and institutions, bid to purchase these securities, which are essentially IOUs promising to pay back with interest over time. The government conducts these auctions regularly, determining the price and yield based on supply, demand, and other market factors. This process helps finance government operations and manage the national debt, offering a relatively low-risk investment backed by the U.S. government.
