Goldman Sachs: U.S. Treasury Expected to Lean Towards Increasing Short-Term Treasury Bill Auction Size
On November 6th, William Marshall and Bill Zu of Goldman Sachs stated that in the future, the increase in the auction size of US Treasury bonds may tend to be towards shorter-term bonds. They anticipate that the auction sizes of nominal 2-year, 3-year, 5-year, and 7-year bonds will continuously rise, while the increase for floating rate notes will be relatively smaller, and the auction sizes of 10-year, 20-year, and 30-year bonds will remain unchanged. They expect this trend to commence in November 2026.
They further stated: "Over a period of time, we anticipate that this will lead to a lowering of the weighted average maturity (WAM) and witness a steady growth in the proportion of short-term bonds." However, considering the Fed's expectation to purchase approximately 50% of the net short-term bond supply over the next two years, the proportion of short-term bonds held by the private sector may remain relatively steady.

November 6th. Lately, the U.S. Court of Appeals made a ruling that the FBI is not liable for erasing a hard drive which might contain more than 3,400 bitcoins. This is because the convicted owner of the hard drive never informed the government of their ownership of the tokens. The key figure in this case, Prelim, had previously served a prison term for identity theft. After being released in July 2022, Prelim applied to the court to have the hard drive containing bitcoins returned. Nevertheless, the FBI had already erased it in accordance with their standard procedure. Prelim claimed that this action was illegal and appealed.
The judge finally stated that Prelim waited too long to file the appeal and their testimony was inconsistent, raising doubts about whether they really held bitcoins. Before reaching a plea agreement and serving a prison term in November 2019, Prelim had claimed to possess "about 3,500 bitcoins." However, after being incarcerated, Prelim changed their story. A fin
