Kyle Rezdal: 美国政府需要借款，并通过财政部的债券拍卖来完成。拍卖结果将影响政府和个人的借贷成本。 Sabri Beneshour: 美国政府将出售30年期债券，这次拍卖是对未来借贷成本的测试。政府最终支付的利率会影响我们支付的汽车贷款、抵押贷款和商业贷款利率。 Mark Cabana: 债券拍卖是对投资者兴趣的测试，目前市场情绪相对稳定。 John Canavan: 由于对美国赤字可持续性的担忧增加，这次债券拍卖变得更加重要。 Gennady Goldberg: 如果美国财政状况恶化，美国可能需要发行更多债务，导致投资者要求更高的利率。未来的赤字越大，政府借款的难度可能越大，未来可能需要支付更高的利息。长期债券投资者为了弥补未来的风险，现在会要求更高的利率。
