The U.S. government is expected to borrow $340 billion in April-June, the Treasury Department said Monday. The borrowing estimate is $72 billion more than previous estimates. The increase was due to re-establishment of the Supplementary Financing Program, designed to help the Federal Reserve conduct monetary policy. The government borrowed $483 billion in the last quarter. Treasury assumes an end-of-June cash balance of $280. For the July-September quarter, Treasury said it expects to borrow $376 billion with a cash balance of $270 billion. As a result, Treasury now expects to borrow $1.46 trillion this fiscal year, down from $1.79 trillion in the last fiscal year. Lower borrowing needs could translate into some modest cuts in some coupon auctions sizes, analysts noted.
