Kevin Warsh, a potential successor as Chair of the Federal Reserve, said on Tuesday that the Fed should reduce its balance sheet and avoid holding long-term US Treasuries.

The Federal Reserve holds approximately USD3.6 trillion in US notes and bonds, referring to debt with maturities of more than one year. Holding longer-term debt may exert downward pressure on the 10-year yield, as the Fed serves as a major source of demand. Critics argue that such purchases blur the line between monetary policy and fiscal policy, as they help keep government borrowing costs lower.
