The U.S. Treasury Department is weighing a new step to lower interest rates, potentially by increasing the amount of debt it buys back, according to NYT Business.

The move would expand the Treasury’s debt buyback activity, with bond market investors assessing what it could mean for overall borrowing costs.

NYT Business notes that investors are trying to gauge how the Treasury’s latest attempt could feed through to interest rate levels across the bond market.
