Treasury Department to buy back up to $6 billion in longer-term debt, triple the normal level
Quick source take
The Treasury Department stated it will buy back up to six billion dollars in longer-term government debt in an operation intended to maintain bond market functioning. While the announcement triples normal operations, market reaction was negative as yields rose and long-term securities experienced a sell-off.

Critics warned that attempting to defend bond prices against broader market fundamentals could prove difficult.
