US Treasury General Account dwindles to critical levels with less than $50B remaining

Share This Post

Quick Take

  • The U.S. Treasury General Account (TGA) continues to be depleted; as of May 24, it had just $49 billion left in its coffers.
  • This is the lowest number in the account since 2017 when the balance fell to around $23 billion.
  • The Treasury’s General Account is the primary operating account for the United States government that services daily expenses.
  • Treasury yields continue to rise and have been nine out of the ten past trading sessions, according to MacroScope.
  • House Speaker Kevin McCarthy believes an agreement on the debt ceiling will be reached, and negotiations will continue  “24/7 to solve this problem”, according to MacroScope.
  • Once an agreement is reached, the TGA will draw liquidity from the system and issue new bonds to refill the account.
  • Blake Davis, a macro analyst from Blockware Solutions, argues that this will cause a severe liquidity crisis on top of the Fed’s continuing quantitative tightening.
