U.S. Treasury Markets
U.S. Treasury securities are government debt issued by the Department of the Treasury as bills, notes, bonds, and TIPS (Treasury inflation-protected securities). These securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, making them one of the world’s lowest-risk assets and a key cash-equivalent security throughout the global financial system.
