Treasury needs to raise more than $1 trillion in auctions over the next few months.

 That is some overhang. Who is going to buy all that debt? Not the Federal Reserve, which is in quantitative-tightening mode. And remember, U.S. banks are $2.2 trillion underwater in their bond portfolios. 

As deposits move to higher-yielding money-market funds, banks are selling bonds as well. 

Plus, their commercial real-estate loans are a mess. Defaults are the highest they have been since the 2008-09 financial crisis as city office occupancy rates hover around 50%.
