US Treasury Securities

US Treasury securities are government-issued financial instruments used to borrow money from investors. When you buy one, you're lending the government money in exchange for a promise to be repaid with interest over time. They come in different types, such as Treasury bills (short-term), notes (medium-term), and bonds (long-term). These securities are considered very safe because they are backed by the U.S. government. Investors buy them for income, safety, and to diversify their portfolios, and they play a vital role in funding government operations and managing the nation’s debt.
