Treasury borrowed 200 billion dollars for February alone

I don't think they will continue for much longer. Some of it is tax refunds which are paid out early, and some of it is building up cash to run the government. People will start paying their yearly and quarterly taxes as the deadline nears so that a surplus occurs.

They could use some of the excess cash to buy bonds to boost the markets.

Anyone looking to refinance their mortgage? Might be a good play. ** -- HokieSignGuy 03/03/2020 10:37AM

Mortgage rates more dependent on 10 year treasury which has also plummeted -- CPRVHokie 03/03/2020 10:58AM

They were due for 25 anyway as they were behind the curve still. Market -- GreenvilleVT 03/03/2020 10:50AM
