The US Treasury market, which is the largest market for government securities, has experienced a decline in liquidity due to various factors, including monetary policy tightening and uncertainty about inflation and growth, which has increased the sensitivity of US and global sovereign bond markets. Leveraged fund activity in the US Treasury futures market has also amplified market sensitivity, with historically high net short positions contributing to market volatility. The analysis suggests that the impact of a US monetary policy shock on bond prices is larger when market liquidity is low or when leveraged short positions are large. Furthermore, US Treasury market conditions can amplify bond market reactions to US monetary policy in other countries, particularly when liquidity conditions in the US Treasury market are tighter than normal. These findings help explain the relatively large adjustments in US Treasury yields observed in 2023 and highlight the link between US Treasury market conditions and the broader sensitivity of bond markets to monetary policy.
