Even before COVID-19, the problem was becoming unwieldy. Ironically, despite adding $4T+ in debt over the last year, the pandemic may have given the US Government short-term reprieve as it gave the Federal Reserve a green light to drop rates back to zero.<blockquote>美国有超过28万亿美元的债务，并且还在以惊人的速度增长。甚至在新冠肺炎之前，这个问题就变得棘手了。具有讽刺意味的是，尽管去年增加了4T多美元的债务，但疫情可能给了美国政府短期的喘息机会，因为它为美联储将利率降至零开了绿灯。</blockquote> First and foremost, this took pressure off the Treasury as it refinanced the ballooning short-term debt outstanding at lower rates. However, even more relief occurred as the Federal Reserve absorbed +90% of the long term debt issued since last March. This allowed more room in the private markets to purchase the issuance of new short-term Treasury Bills. Because the Fed pays interest revenue back to the Treasury, and since interest rates on Treasury Bills are sitting at 0%, this has effectively given the Treasury a&nbsp;$4.5T loan at 0% interest&nbsp;in 15 months!<blockquote>首先，这减轻了财政部的压力，因为它以较低的利率为不断膨胀的未偿短期债务进行了再融资。然而，随着美联储吸收了自去年3月以来发行的90%以上的长期债务，情况更加缓解。这使得私人市场有更多的空间来购买新发行的短期国库券。因为美联储将利息收入返还给财政部，而且由于国库券的利率为0%，这实际上给了财政部一个$4.5 T 0%利息贷款15个月后！</blockquote> While this sounds like a great deal, it comes with major risks and has now put the Fed in a box. This will be explained in detail over two articles. Part 1 will explain why the Fed can no longer raise interest rates, and Part 2 will show how the Fed is unable to taper and may even need to increase Treasury purchases to maintain control over the long end of the yield curve.<blockquote>虽然这听起来是一笔很大的交易，但它伴随着重大风险，现在已经将美联储置于一个盒子里。这将在两篇文章中详细解释。第1部分将解释为什么美联储不能再加息，第2部分将展示美联储如何无法缩减，甚至可能需要增加国债购买，以维持对收益率曲线长端的控制。</blockquote> $28 Trillion and Growing<blockquote>28万亿美元且不断增长</blockquote> The US Government cannot stop spending money. Spending is now far in excess of what is being collected in tax revenues. The US economy continues to experience nominal increases in growth, which has increased Federal Tax receipts, but Federal Spending is growing far faster. Figure 1 below, shows this clear trend.<blockquote>美国政府不能停止花钱。现在的支出远远超过了税收收入。美国经济继续经历名义增长，这增加了联邦税收收入，但联邦支出增长速度要快得多。下图1显示了这一明显趋势。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8b5576e9901f1f8310629d45af16836a\" tg-width=\"1024\" tg-height=\"512\"><blockquote></blockquote> Source – Treasurydirect.gov<blockquote>来源-Treasurydirect.gov</blockquote> Excess spending has to be paid for using debt. This massive excess in spending has led to proliferate borrowing by the Federal Government resulting in over $28T in total debt outstanding. See figure 2 below.<blockquote>过度支出必须用债务来支付。这种大规模的过度支出导致联邦政府借贷激增，导致未偿债务总额超过28T美元。见下图2。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/ed345b06ec4a35726fe7d9847937cf34\" tg-width=\"1024\" tg-height=\"512\"><blockquote></blockquote> Source – Treasurydirect.gov<blockquote>来源-Treasurydirect.gov</blockquote> For anyone struggling to wrap their mind around the size of $1T, please see this great&nbsp;visual. Now, multiply that by 28!<blockquote>对于任何努力理解1T美元规模的人来说，请看看这个伟大的视觉效果。现在，把它乘以28！</blockquote> For most governments, this would be unsustainable as interest rates would rise. This puts pressure on a borrower to bring down spending. The US Government has benefited from three major advantages that are not available to most governments. First, it has the exorbitant privilege of issuing the global reserve currency (for now), which creates far more demand for dollars than would otherwise be the case. The&nbsp;petro-dollar&nbsp;should have its own dedicated article, so that will be skipped in this analysis.<blockquote>对于大多数政府来说，这将是不可持续的，因为利率将会上升。这给借款人带来了降低支出的压力。美国政府受益于大多数政府所不具备的三大优势。首先，它拥有发行全球储备货币的过高特权（目前），这对美元的需求远远超过其他情况。石油美元应该有自己的专门文章，所以在这个分析中将跳过。</blockquote> It is important to highlight two other key facts that have allowed spending and borrowing to continue unabated. It has been able to borrow from the Social Security Trust Fund, and the Federal Reserve has absorbed a large chunk of debt issuance in recent years. Not only does this equate to $11T in interest-free loans (as all interest payments return back to the Treasury), but it has prevented the private markets from absorbing all new debt issuance keeping interest rates lower. As Figure 3 below shows, since Jan 2010, the private markets have “only” had to absorb $9T of the $14.5T issued.<blockquote>重要的是要强调另外两个关键事实，这两个事实使得支出和借贷继续有增无减。它已经能够从社会保障信托基金借款，美联储近年来吸收了很大一部分债务发行。这不仅相当于11T美元的无息贷款（因为所有利息支付都返还给财政部），而且还阻止了私人市场吸收所有新的债务发行，从而保持较低的利率。如下图3所示，自2010年1月以来，私人市场“只”吸收了14.5吨发行的9T美元。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2dee6e735c0a3c1421eb321c0eae4b54\" tg-width=\"1024\" tg-height=\"512\"><blockquote></blockquote> Source – Treasurydirect.gov andhttps://fred.stlouisfed.org/<blockquote>来源-Treasurydirect.gov和https://fred.stlouisfed.org/</blockquote> Since Jan 2020, the numbers are even more stark. The Treasury has issued $4.5T, of which the Fed has taken on $2.6T (Note: The Fed balance sheet has expanded by greater than $4T, but not all of this was Treasury Debt). Looking deeper into the numbers shows the Fed had an even bigger appetite for longer-dated maturities. With Short Term rates at 0%, the Treasury can sell Treasury Bills to the private sector and still have an interest-free loan. Thus, it has been critical for the Fed to absorb almost all (~90%) the long-term debt issued by the Treasury to keep interest payments low!<blockquote>自2020年1月以来，数字更加严峻。财政部已发行4.5 T美元，其中美联储已发行2.6 T美元（注：美联储资产负债表已扩大超过4T美元，但并非全部都是国债).深入研究这些数字就会发现，美联储对长期债券的兴趣更大。由于短期利率为0%，财政部可以向私营部门出售国库券，但仍有无息贷款。因此，美联储吸收财政部发行的几乎所有（约90%）长期债务以保持低利息支付至关重要！</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/89bf299c6c054e65d3317aa72d0f686a\" tg-width=\"1024\" tg-height=\"512\"><blockquote></blockquote> Source – Treasurydirect.gov<blockquote>来源-Treasurydirect.gov</blockquote> The Treasury has so far avoided higher interest payments<blockquote>到目前为止，财政部一直避免支付更高的利息</blockquote> Zooming back out, the three charts below show why the maneuvers over the last year have been so important. Take one more look at the US Debt load, this time categorized by vehicle. Non-Marketable is debt the government owes itself, Notes represent 1-10 year maturity, Bills less than 1 year, and Bonds &gt;10 years. The two charts below show both the absolute growth in debt and how the makeup of the debt has changed. Since 2008, Notes have experienced the largest growth increasing from 25% of total outstanding to 42%. Non-Marketable went the other way, shrinking from 45% to 25% as the Social Security Trust Fund is no longer a source to borrow from.<blockquote>缩小范围，下面的三张图表显示了为什么过去一年的演习如此重要。再看看美国的债务负担，这次是按工具分类的。不可销售的是政府欠自己的债务，票据代表1-10年期限，票据少于1年，债券&gt;10年。下面的两张图表显示了债务的绝对增长以及债务构成的变化。自2008年以来，票据经历了最大的增长，从占未偿总额的25%增加到42%。非市场则相反，由于社会保障信托基金不再是借款来源，从45%萎缩至25%。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a144f0f9250c364637205e8bd0178bc0\" tg-width=\"1024\" tg-height=\"512\"><blockquote></blockquote> Source – Treasurydirect.gov<blockquote>来源-Treasurydirect.gov</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2c1851784731b81544c30c5338624a03\" tg-width=\"1024\" tg-height=\"512\"><blockquote></blockquote> Source – Treasurydirect.gov<blockquote>来源-Treasurydirect.gov</blockquote> It is important to notice the growth in Treasury Bills above. Bills are the highest risk to the Treasury because higher interest rates will affect Bills within months, so it is important to note that in 2015 during the last rate hike cycle they accounted for only $1.4T but now make up $4.3T. This means every .25% rate hike will almost immediately add $10B to Federal spending. The chart below clearly shows the impact of the last interest rate hike cycle. The Pink line shows how Bills followed the Fed hike cycle topping out near 2.25%.<blockquote>值得注意的是上述国库券的增长。票据是财政部面临的最高风险，因为更高的利率将在几个月内影响票据，因此值得注意的是，在2015年上一次加息周期中，票据仅占1.4 T美元，但现在占4.3 T美元。这意味着每加息0.25%几乎会立即增加100亿美元的联邦支出。下图清楚地显示了上一个加息周期的影响。粉红线显示了美联储加息周期后票据如何达到接近2.25%的峰值。</blockquote> If the Fed attempted to raise rates in a similar fashion it would immediately add $100B to Federal Spending on ONLY interest due for Treasury Bills. In a scenario where the Fed shrunk its balance sheet back to $1T (no more interest free loans) AND raised interest rates back to 4%, the Treasury would incur an extra $160B in interest rates for Treasury Bills and a whopping $290B on Treasury Notes! This would not factor in any new debt added over that time, which now includes an extra $.5T a year just on interest payments!<blockquote>如果美联储试图以类似的方式加息，它将立即在联邦支出中增加1000亿美元，仅用于国库券的到期利息。在美联储将资产负债表缩减至1T美元（不再有无息贷款）并将利率提高至4%的情况下，财政部将额外承担160B美元的国库券利率和高达290B美元的国库券利率！这不会考虑在此期间增加的任何新债务，现在仅利息支付就包括每年额外的0.5 T美元！</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/04501c54f465fba412ffbf77b81a559f\" tg-width=\"1024\" tg-height=\"512\"><blockquote></blockquote> Source – Treasurydirect.gov<blockquote>来源-Treasurydirect.gov</blockquote> The chart below shows a much clearer impact of how falling interest rates have kept debt payments relatively stable for nearly 20 years. The chart shows the average weighted interest rate and the annualized monthly interest payments. The orange line (average weighted interest rate) is moving in direct opposition to the growth in debt seen above. In the last rate tightening cycle, the chart shows just how quickly higher interest rates increased the debt burden ($150B). The Fed owns very few Treasury Bills ($320B), so those interest payments are NOT returning to the Treasury.<blockquote>下图更清楚地显示了近20年来利率下降如何使债务支付保持相对稳定的影响。图表显示了平均加权利率和年化每月利息支付。橙色线（平均加权利率）与上面看到的债务增长直接相反。在上一个利率紧缩周期中，图表显示了高利率增加债务负担的速度（$150B）。美联储拥有的国库券很少（$320B），因此这些利息支付不会返还给财政部。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c859933a1e991d3e6ba191ccb6a7609e\" tg-width=\"1024\" tg-height=\"512\"><blockquote></blockquote> Source – Treasurydirect.gov<blockquote>来源-Treasurydirect.gov</blockquote> One final chart to consider. How do these interest payments compare to tax revenue collected by the IRS? In this context, it becomes very clear how much impact the 2015 rate cycle increases had on debt payments.<blockquote>最后一张要考虑的图表。这些利息支付与国税局征收的税收收入相比如何？在这种背景下，2015年加息周期对债务支付的影响有多大就变得非常清楚了。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/585708ace254d0b79ecddcc77c9c8ca0\" tg-width=\"1024\" tg-height=\"512\"><blockquote></blockquote> Source – Treasurydirect.gov<blockquote>来源-Treasurydirect.gov</blockquote> Wrapping Up<blockquote>包装</blockquote> Nothing in this article should be surprising to anyone who even closely watches the US Debt situation or follows financial markets. The charts and graphs attempted to show the trends and put hard numbers behind what most people already know anecdotally. This article does not even touch on how devastating higher interest rates would be on the housing market, corporate debt market, and consumer debt market. Instead it only focuses on the Treasury, which just so happens to be run by the old chair of the Federal Reserve (Janet Yellen).<blockquote>对于任何密切关注美国债务状况或关注金融市场的人来说，这篇文章中的任何内容都不应该感到惊讶。图表和图形试图显示趋势，并把硬数字放在大多数人已经知道的轶事背后。这篇文章甚至没有谈到更高的利率会对房地产市场、公司债务市场和消费者债务市场造成多大的破坏性。相反，它只关注财政部，而财政部恰好由美联储前主席（珍妮特·耶伦）掌管。</blockquote> None of this math is overly complex, and all the data is freely available on the Treasury and Fed website. This begs the question, does the Fed realize interest rates cannot go up or are they only looking in the rear-view mirror and assuming that an increase to 2.25% will be similar to 2015 which was “only” derailed by COVID-19? To reiterate, the drop in interest rates gave the Treasury&nbsp;relief&nbsp;from the higher interest payments. Next time they might not even get halfway to 2% with the added debt burden.Unfortunately, for the Fed, their box is tighter than most realize.If the Fed hasn’t figured it out by now,even before they fail to raise interest rates, they will be unable taper Quantitative Easing (debt monetization) much less shrink their balance sheet, without serious consequences.That data will be reviewed in Part 2. Stay tuned!<blockquote>这些数学计算都不太复杂，所有数据都可以在财政部和美联储网站上免费获得。这就引出了一个问题，美联储是否意识到利率不能上升，或者他们只是看着后视镜，假设加息至2.25%将类似于2015年，而2015年“只是”被新冠肺炎脱轨？重申一下，利率的下降给了财政部宽慰来自较高的利息支付。下一次，由于债务负担的增加，他们可能连2%的一半都达不到。不幸的是，对于美联储来说，他们的盒子比大多数人意识到的要紧。如果美联储现在还没想明白，即使在加息失败之前，他们也无法缩减量化宽松（债务货币化），更不用说缩表了，而不会产生严重后果。这些数据将在第2部分中进行回顾。敬请期待！</blockquote>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>The Fed In A Box, Part 1: They Cannot Raise Interest Rates<blockquote>盒子里的美联储，第一部分：他们不能加息</blockquote></title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 12.5px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nThe Fed In A Box, Part 1: They Cannot Raise Interest Rates<blockquote>盒子里的美联储，第一部分：他们不能加息</blockquote>\n</h2>\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\nzerohedge2021-06-23 21:46\n\n</h4>\n</header>\n<article>\n3 Key Takeaways<blockquote>3个要点</blockquote> <ol> <li>The US Government has over $28 Trillion in Debt</li> <li>Much of the debt is short-term, making it extra sensitive to higher rates</li> <li>Higher Interest Rates would immediately start putting strain on the Federal Budget</li> </ol> Introduction<blockquote><ol><li>美国政府债务超过28万亿美元</li><li>大部分债务都是短期的，这使得它对利率上升格外敏感</li><li>更高的利率将立即开始给联邦预算带来压力</li></ol>介绍</blockquote> The US has over $28 Trillion dollars in debt and it continues to grow at an alarming rate.

Thus, it has been critical for the Fed to absorb almost all (~90%) the long-term debt issued by the Treasury to keep interest payments low!<blockquote>自2020年1月以来，数字更加严峻。财政部已发行4.5 T美元，其中美联储已发行2.6 T美元（注：美联储资产负债表已扩大超过4T美元，但并非全部都是国债).深入研究这些数字就会发现，美联储对长期债券的兴趣更大。由于短期利率为0%，财政部可以向私营部门出售国库券，但仍有无息贷款。因此，美联储吸收财政部发行的几乎所有（约90%）长期债务以保持低利息支付至关重要！</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/89bf299c6c054e65d3317aa72d0f686a\" tg-width=\"1024\" tg-height=\"512\"><blockquote></blockquote> Source – Treasurydirect.gov<blockquote>来源-Treasurydirect.gov</blockquote> The Treasury has so far avoided higher interest payments<blockquote>到目前为止，财政部一直避免支付更高的利息</blockquote> Zooming back out, the three charts below show why the maneuvers over the last year have been so important. Take one more look at the US Debt load, this time categorized by vehicle. Non-Marketable is debt the government owes itself, Notes represent 1-10 year maturity, Bills less than 1 year, and Bonds &gt;10 years. The two charts below show both the absolute growth in debt and how the makeup of the debt has changed. Since 2008, Notes have experienced the largest growth increasing from 25% of total outstanding to 42%. Non-Marketable went the other way, shrinking from 45% to 25% as the Social Security Trust Fund is no longer a source to borrow from.<blockquote>缩小范围，下面的三张图表显示了为什么过去一年的演习如此重要。再看看美国的债务负担，这次是按工具分类的。不可销售的是政府欠自己的债务，票据代表1-10年期限，票据少于1年，债券&gt;10年。下面的两张图表显示了债务的绝对增长以及债务构成的变化。自2008年以来，票据经历了最大的增长，从占未偿总额的25%增加到42%。非市场则相反，由于社会保障信托基金不再是借款来源，从45%萎缩至25%。</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/a144f0f9250c364637205e8bd0178bc0\" tg-width=\"1024\" tg-height=\"512\"><blockquote></blockquote> Source – Treasurydirect.gov<blockquote>来源-Treasurydirect.gov</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/2c1851784731b81544c30c5338624a03\" tg-width=\"1024\" tg-height=\"512\"><blockquote></blockquote> Source – Treasurydirect.gov<blockquote>来源-Treasurydirect.gov</blockquote> It is important to notice the growth in Treasury Bills above. Bills are the highest risk to the Treasury because higher interest rates will affect Bills within months, so it is important to note that in 2015 during the last rate hike cycle they accounted for only $1.4T but now make up $4.3T. This means every .25% rate hike will almost immediately add $10B to Federal spending. The chart below clearly shows the impact of the last interest rate hike cycle. The Pink line shows how Bills followed the Fed hike cycle topping out near 2.25%.<blockquote>值得注意的是上述国库券的增长。票据是财政部面临的最高风险，因为更高的利率将在几个月内影响票据，因此值得注意的是，在2015年上一次加息周期中，票据仅占1.4 T美元，但现在占4.3 T美元。这意味着每加息0.25%几乎会立即增加100亿美元的联邦支出。下图清楚地显示了上一个加息周期的影响。粉红线显示了美联储加息周期后票据如何达到接近2.25%的峰值。</blockquote> If the Fed attempted to raise rates in a similar fashion it would immediately add $100B to Federal Spending on ONLY interest due for Treasury Bills. In a scenario where the Fed shrunk its balance sheet back to $1T (no more interest free loans) AND raised interest rates back to 4%, the Treasury would incur an extra $160B in interest rates for Treasury Bills and a whopping $290B on Treasury Notes! This would not factor in any new debt added over that time, which now includes an extra $.5T a year just on interest payments!<blockquote>如果美联储试图以类似的方式加息，它将立即在联邦支出中增加1000亿美元，仅用于国库券的到期利息。在美联储将资产负债表缩减至1T美元（不再有无息贷款）并将利率提高至4%的情况下，财政部将额外承担160B美元的国库券利率和高达290B美元的国库券利率！这不会考虑在此期间增加的任何新债务，现在仅利息支付就包括每年额外的0.5 T美元！</blockquote> <img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/04501c54f465fba412ffbf77b81a559f\" tg-width=\"1024\" tg-height=\"512\"><blockquote></blockquote> Source – Treasurydirect.gov<blockquote>来源-Treasurydirect.gov</blockquote> The chart below shows a much clearer impact of how falling interest rates have kept debt payments relatively stable for nearly 20 years.

Instead it only focuses on the Treasury, which just so happens to be run by the old chair of the Federal Reserve (Janet Yellen).<blockquote>对于任何密切关注美国债务状况或关注金融市场的人来说，这篇文章中的任何内容都不应该感到惊讶。图表和图形试图显示趋势，并把硬数字放在大多数人已经知道的轶事背后。这篇文章甚至没有谈到更高的利率会对房地产市场、公司债务市场和消费者债务市场造成多大的破坏性。相反，它只关注财政部，而财政部恰好由美联储前主席（珍妮特·耶伦）掌管。</blockquote> None of this math is overly complex, and all the data is freely available on the Treasury and Fed website. This begs the question, does the Fed realize interest rates cannot go up or are they only looking in the rear-view mirror and assuming that an increase to 2.25% will be similar to 2015 which was “only” derailed by COVID-19? To reiterate, the drop in interest rates gave the Treasury&nbsp;relief&nbsp;from the higher interest payments.

Stay tuned!<blockquote>这些数学计算都不太复杂，所有数据都可以在财政部和美联储网站上免费获得。这就引出了一个问题，美联储是否意识到利率不能上升，或者他们只是看着后视镜，假设加息至2.25%将类似于2015年，而2015年“只是”被新冠肺炎脱轨？重申一下，利率的下降给了财政部宽慰来自较高的利息支付。下一次，由于债务负担的增加，他们可能连2%的一半都达不到。不幸的是，对于美联储来说，他们的盒子比大多数人意识到的要紧。如果美联储现在还没想明白，即使在加息失败之前，他们也无法缩减量化宽松（债务货币化），更不用说缩表了，而不会产生严重后果。这些数据将在第2部分中进行回顾。敬请期待！</blockquote>\n<div class=\"bt-text\">\n\n\n 来源：<a href=\"https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/fed-box-part-1-they-cannot-raise-interest-rates\">zerohedge</a>\n为提升您的阅读体验，我们对本页面进行了排版优化\n\n\n</div>\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{".DJI":"道琼斯",".IXIC":"NASDAQ Composite","SPY":"标普500ETF",".SPX":"S&P 500 Index"},"source_url":"https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/fed-box-part-1-they-cannot-raise-interest-rates","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"1191722749","content_text":"3 Key Takeaways\n\nThe US Government has over $28 Trillion in Debt\nMuch of the debt is short-term, making it extra sensitive to higher rates\nHigher Interest Rates would immediately start putting strain on the Federal Budget\n\nIntroduction\nThe US has over $28 Trillion dollars in debt and it continues to grow at an alarming rate. Even before COVID-19, the problem was becoming unwieldy. Ironically, despite adding $4T+ in debt over the last year, the pandemic may have given the US Government short-term reprieve as it gave the Federal Reserve a green light to drop rates back to zero.\nFirst and foremost, this took pressure off the Treasury as it refinanced the ballooning short-term debt outstanding at lower rates. However, even more relief occurred as the Federal Reserve absorbed +90% of the long term debt issued since last March. This allowed more room in the private markets to purchase the issuance of new short-term Treasury Bills. Because the Fed pays interest revenue back to the Treasury, and since interest rates on Treasury Bills are sitting at 0%, this has effectively given the Treasury a $4.5T loan at 0% interest in 15 months!\nWhile this sounds like a great deal, it comes with major risks and has now put the Fed in a box. This will be explained in detail over two articles. Part 1 will explain why the Fed can no longer raise interest rates, and Part 2 will show how the Fed is unable to taper and may even need to increase Treasury purchases to maintain control over the long end of the yield curve.\n$28 Trillion and Growing\nThe US Government cannot stop spending money. Spending is now far in excess of what is being collected in tax revenues. The US economy continues to experience nominal increases in growth, which has increased Federal Tax receipts, but Federal Spending is growing far faster. Figure 1 below, shows this clear trend.\n\nSource – Treasurydirect.gov\nExcess spending has to be paid for using debt. This massive excess in spending has led to proliferate borrowing by the Federal Government resulting in over $28T in total debt outstanding. See figure 2 below.\n\nSource – Treasurydirect.gov\nFor anyone struggling to wrap their mind around the size of $1T, please see this great visual. Now, multiply that by 28!\nFor most governments, this would be unsustainable as interest rates would rise. This puts pressure on a borrower to bring down spending. The US Government has benefited from three major advantages that are not available to most governments. First, it has the exorbitant privilege of issuing the global reserve currency (for now), which creates far more demand for dollars than would otherwise be the case. The petro-dollar should have its own dedicated article, so that will be skipped in this analysis.\nIt is important to highlight two other key facts that have allowed spending and borrowing to continue unabated. It has been able to borrow from the Social Security Trust Fund, and the Federal Reserve has absorbed a large chunk of debt issuance in recent years. Not only does this equate to $11T in interest-free loans (as all interest payments return back to the Treasury), but it has prevented the private markets from absorbing all new debt issuance keeping interest rates lower. As Figure 3 below shows, since Jan 2010, the private markets have “only” had to absorb $9T of the $14.5T issued.\n\nSource – Treasurydirect.gov andhttps://fred.stlouisfed.org/\nSince Jan 2020, the numbers are even more stark. The Treasury has issued $4.5T, of which the Fed has taken on $2.6T (Note: The Fed balance sheet has expanded by greater than $4T, but not all of this was Treasury Debt). Looking deeper into the numbers shows the Fed had an even bigger appetite for longer-dated maturities.
