Treasury Announces Marketable Borrowing Estimates
April 28, 2025--The U.S. Department of the Treasury today announced its current estimates of privately-held net marketable borrowing[1] for the April -June 2025 and July- September 2025 quarters.
During the April - June 2025 quarter, Treasury expects to borrow $514 billion in privately-held net marketable debt, assuming an end-of-June cash balance of $850 billion.[2],[3]
The borrowing estimate is $391 billion higher than announced in February 2025, primarily due to the lower beginning-of-quarter cash balance and projected lower net cash flows, partially offset by lower Federal Reserve System Open Market Account (SOMA) redemptions ($60 billion).
Excluding the lower than assumed beginning-of-quarter cash balance, the current quarter borrowing estimate is $53 billion lower than announced in February.

Financial Stability Report
April 25, 2025-A summary of the developments in the four broad categories of vulnerabilities since the
November 2024 Financial Stability Report (FSR) is as follows:
1. Asset valuations. Asset valuations are notable. Prior to early April's market volatility, the ratio of equity prices to earnings had remained near the high end of its historical range and
an estimate of the equity premium-the compensation for risk in equity markets-remained well below average.
Even after recent declines in equity prices, prices remained high relative
to analysts' earnings forecasts, which adjust more slowly than market prices.
Treasury yields across maturities remained at the higher end of their levels since 2008. Spreads between yields on corporate bonds and those on comparable-maturity Treasury securities were at moderate levels compared to their history, despite recent increases. Liquidity across many financial markets remained low through the end of March and deteriorated further in April, but market functioning was generally orderly. In U.S. property markets, home prices remained elevated, and the ratio of house prices to rents continued to be near the highest levels on record.
