But short term rates are usually lower. voice-verified

Alex Wolfe with JP Morgan Private Bank says that's motivating the Treasury Department to issue shorter term debt. voice-verified

The kind of short-term securities that the federal government's been issuing more of are called treasury bills. voice-verified

They come in several flavors. voice-verified

Zachary Griffiths with Credit Sites says they mature in just months. voice-verified

Griffith says there's a lot of demand for these T bills, mostly from big investors that want a safe place to park their cash for a little while. voice-verified

And the government is well aware of that. voice-verified

But pivoting to T-bills could backfire. voice-verified

Alex Wolfe with JP Morgan says rates on short-term debt closely track what the Federal Reserve does with interest rates. voice-verified

Remember, these securities mature in months, which means the Treasury has to keep issuing new ones over and over again. voice-verified

As a result, interest rates on them can be volatile, says Chris Lowe with FHN Financial. voice-verified

And in order to buy back its own long-term bonds, Lowe says the Treasury is gonna have to issue even more short-term debt. voice-verified

He says you can think of that like squeezing a balloon. voice-verified

Because short-term rates, Lowe says, are probably headed up. voice-verified
