The Federal Reserve's voting member next year, Barkin, warns: US national debt surpasses $40 trillion, debt expansion may lead investors to sell US bonds.
Richmond Federal Reserve President Thomas Barkin (a 2027 FOMC voting member) stated that the continuous expansion of U.S. government debt could eventually lead to bond buyers exiting the market. He described the current debt level as a persistent "headwind" that the Federal Reserve must contend with. This warning comes as the U.S. national debt surpassed $40 trillion in August 2026, and the yield on 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds has risen to highs not seen before the 2008 financial crisis, underscoring the profound impact of fiscal pressure on monetary policy and markets.
