Navigating the Treasury Bond Market: Insights and Strategies for Investors
With Treasury bond yields reaching their highest levels since 2007, investors are finding near-risk-free returns in the Treasury market. They can purchase these assets directly from the government through TreasuryDirect.gov, or through brokerages and banks that act as bond dealers. While Treasury ETFs offer exposure to these assets, buying actual Treasurys is considered a nearly risk-free proposition. The TreasuryDirect website allows investors to purchase new Treasurys, while brokerages provide access to both Treasury auctions and the secondary market.
