Abstract
While US Treasury floating rate notes (FRNs) are typically traded at a premium, they often experience significant price discounts. We find that this significant discount in US Treasury FRNs can be partly attributed to intermediation friction. The results reveal that new intermediation friction and canonical fight-to-safety channels can better explain the price changes in US Treasury FRNs.
