According to Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Williams, on May 8, demand for U.S. Treasury securities remains strong despite large government borrowing. Williams stated the Fed is monitoring government borrowing levels “very closely,” but noted that market demand for U.S. debt is “enormous” and the U.S. continues to be viewed as the world’s strongest economy and a safe haven for capital. He added that the American economy has demonstrated resilience amid energy shocks from Middle East tensions, and the Fed remains committed to bringing inflation back to its 2% target.
