The Treasury Department plans to sell $123 billion in T-bills right on the X-date, but there's a catch
The Treasury Department scheduled a T-bill auction for June 5, but it would be postponed if the US fails to resolve the debt ceiling crisis by then.
But their sale will not take place if Congress doesn't approve the debt ceiling bill by then, as the Treasury would not be able to issue such securities under the current debt limit. That's as Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen has estimated June 5 to be the newest X-date, or the day the US would run out of funds if Congress fails to lift the country's borrowing limit.
