U.S. Treasury Securities are government-issued financial instruments used to borrow money to fund various public projects and obligations. They come in several forms, including Treasury bills, Treasury notes, and Treasury bonds, each differing in terms of maturity and interest payments. These securities are considered low-risk investments because they are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.
Investors purchase U.S. Treasury Securities to earn interest and preserve capital. The interest rates on these securities are generally lower than those of other investments, reflecting their safety. They are widely used by individuals, institutions, and foreign governments as a secure way to invest money.
