The U.S. government bond market is the largest in the world, and is among the most reliable and liquid ones. The range of maturities in the market is from 1 to 30 years. The medium-term segment of the market is represented by Treasury notes (Notes) with tenors not exceeding 10 years. The long segment consists of Treasury bonds (Bonds) with maturities of 20 and 30 years. There also are securities with a coupon rate indexed to inflation in the country (TIPS).
The short segment of the market consists of Treasury bills, securities maturing in one year or less. Bills are sold at a discount or at par (face value).
To finance the public debt the U.S. Treasury sells bonds to institutional and individual investors through public auctions. Treasury auctions occur regularly and have a set schedule. There are three steps to an auction: announcement of the auction, bidding, and issuance of the purchased securities.
