Boost Postal Bond Protection for Investors
Thirty percent of postal bank deposits may be turned into securities under the law and, if needed, the President can purchase more. Trustees, reacting to a surprise drop in postal savings bonds price in New York, consider prompt steps to maintain face value. They plan to invest at par from deposits for 20 year bonds or other U.S. securities, aiming to keep 100 cents on the dollar for holders. If market parity falters, the President could direct withdrawal of up to 6 percent and reallocate for U.S. securities to protect the program and general welfare.
