Wall Street analysts are keeping an increasingly close eye on the U.S. Treasury's published finances, as they try to estimate when the Federal government could run out of money if theThe U.S. reached its statutory debt limit of $31.4 trillion in January, constraining the Treasury's ability to borrow.
The government can get along alright for a while via "extraordinary measures" to ensure it meets its obligations. That means deferring payments to some government pension plans and using up its existing cash balances, among other financial tweaks.
It's true that that balance at the Federal government's checking account at the Federal Reserve — the Treasury General Account, charted above — got a bump over the last few days. But analysts have noted that tax receipts have been coming in lower than anticipated, perhaps partially due to a drop in capital gains taxes given the awful year the markets had in 2022."April tax receipts have been on the low side of our expectations and the deficit is tracking higher," analysts with BofA Securities wrote in a note on Friday. They pulled forward their X-date estimate to early August , and added that it "could easily slip to late July.
Separately, Goldman Sachs analysts wrote that their "base case remains for the debt limit deadline to fall in late July. However, the odds of an early June deadline have edged up."The pressure on the White House and congressional Republicans to reach some sort of deal could get serious pretty quickly.
