Furkan Yildirim wrote that the US Treasury could auction fewer long-term government bonds as early as November and possibly discontinue the 20-year term altogether. According to Yildirim, Citigroup expects Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent to announce a $3 billion reduction in auctions for 20- and 30-year bonds each on November 4. The financing gap is to be closed with government securities maturing within a year at the latest. The department may also ask large banks next week whether pension funds now prefer bonds from Amazon, Meta, and Alphabet to those of the state. The 20-year bond was reintroduced in 2020 after a 34-year hiatus and now offers nearly 5.7 percent interest, more than any other US maturity. At the end of 2020, its yield was just under 1.5 percent. At the same time, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, Oracle, and SpaceX had already issued dollar bonds amounting to more than $180 billion in 2026; according to Yildirim, Amazon's bonds extend to 2076. According to asset manager TwentyFour, which Yildirim cited, Japanese investors are now receiving enough interest at home to invest their money there. Citi strategist Jason Williams wrote that pension funds may currently be more inclined than usual to invest in long-term corporate bonds of good quality. However, BNP Paribas strategists doubted that smaller auctions would reduce the government's financing costs. Yildirim also pointed out that the yield on 10-year US bonds serves as a basis for mortgages and many other loans, and Bessent had referred to it as an important measure of his success. With an annual deficit of nearly $2 trillion, the debt burden continues to grow as competition for long-term buyers increases. #Finanzen #Anleihen #Wirtschaft (translated)

Bernd Kaiser criticized BMW for canceling the leasing contract for the 7-series company car of the newly elected President of the State Parliament of Saxony-Anhalt, according to his representation. He accused the company of making a political statement while it is cutting 8,000 jobs worldwide and offering severance packages to almost 40,000 employees in Germany. Kaiser contrasted the decision with the BMW management's statements in the FAZ, claiming that certain parties are "poison for the economic location." He wrote that the company should focus more on technological innovations and sales, and he held the perceived misallocation of priorities partly responsible for the decline of the German location. #BMW #Dienstwagen https://t.co/JhQgq0WEGr #BMW #Autoindustrie #Wirtschaft (translated)
