How the Cash section works
What the cash balance is
The cash balance is the closing balance of the Treasury General Account at the Federal Reserve, the government's main cash account, from the Operating Cash Balance table of the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Daily Treasury Statement (GENM-005). Treasury has reported this figure under more than one account name over the years. Treasury publishes it rounded to the nearest million dollars.
The history chart
The chart shows the closing balance on every Treasury record date in Treasury's published history, drawn from a zero baseline. Weekends and holidays have no record date. A break in the line would mean Treasury has no record for those dates; nothing is estimated or filled in.
The range bar
The range bar compares the latest closing balance with the lowest and the highest closing balance on any record date in the same history. The marker sits where the latest balance falls between the two, worked out from those three recorded amounts. The bar has no zones or thresholds. It shows only where the latest balance falls between two recorded amounts.
How current the data is
Treasury publishes the Daily Treasury Statement each business day, covering the previous business day. So the latest figure is one business day behind, and there are no weekend or holiday figures. The record date in the source line below tells you exactly which day the figure is for.
What this page is not
Nothing on this page is financial or investment advice. It shows U.S. Treasury figures for past dates.
