The U.S. government faces a critical challenge in refinancing $9 trillion of debt by 2026. Yields on 10-year treasuries have surged to 4.2%, drastically increasing interest payments compared to earlier lows. This trajectory threatens fiscal stability as total national debt rises to $34 trillion due to various expenditures. The government aims to reduce yields through economic strategies like tariffs and nationalism, thereby suppressing inflation and controlling bond market volatility. Successful refinancing hinges on lowering yields and stabilizing inflation, which may not occur until late 2026 unless a major financial crisis intervenes.
The U.S. government must roll over $9 trillion of debt by the end of 2026, increasing interest payments due to rising yields.
To manage its debt, the U.S. aims to refinance at lower yields, adjusting economic policies to create slower growth and control inflation.
