Economic Indicator Preview for Friday, September 6, 2024
The August employment report will come out at 8:30 this morning.
The Treasury will introduce the second phase of its new buyback program this week. In addition to its ongoing weekly “liquidity support” buybacks, the Treasury will conduct the first of its new “cash management” buybacks on Thursday. It plans to buy up to a maximum of $5 billion of nominal coupons in the 1-month to 2-year range in each of the coming four weeks to sop up some of the seasonal bulge in tax revenue around the September quarterly tax date. The Treasury has said that it plans to exclude securities maturing near major tax dates from its “CM” buybacks; the eligibility list for Thursday’s operation should give us a better feel for what that means in practice.
