31:06Now PlayingTreasury Secretary Scott Bessent says US regulators may ease the supplementary leverage ratio (SLR) rule, which constrains banks' trading in the $29 trillion Treasuries market, this summer.
Tweaking the SLR could reduce US Treasury yields by tens of basis points, as it requires banks to hold capital when trading against their investments in Treasuries.
The SLR's applicability to Treasuries was suspended during the Covid crisis, but it's since been reinstated, with Bessent and Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell previously expressing support for tweaking the rule.
