Returns from the Treasury market are growing more attractive with yields hovering near 5%, the highest since 2007.
When the government has more trouble finding buyers for new Treasurys, yields will rise to attract interest.
For instance, holders can't sell their bonds directly from a TreasuryDirect account.
For greater access to the Treasury market, investors can turn to brokerages and some commercial banks, which act as the primary intermediaries of US debt.
By using a broker to buy bonds in the secondary market, investors can also add Treasury assets into tax-free accounts, such as a Roth IRA.
