Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a Treasury bond holder wishes to redeem a bond early, the bond can be sold in the secondary market. This is the most common way to dispose of a Treasury bond before its maturity date. The secondary market is where investors buy and sell securities from other investors. The Treasury typically does not buy bonds directly back from investors. The central bank may engage in open market operations to buy and sell Treasury bonds but this is not a direct option available to investors. Selling the bond back to the broker may also be an option, but this would likely involve selling it in the secondary market through the broker.
