SHORT ANSWER
The core idea
When the market must absorb more bonds, prices may need to adjust to attract sufficient demand. All else equal, that can mean lower prices and higher yields.
THE MECHANISM
What is happening underneath
The effect depends on investor demand, central-bank holdings, dealer capacity and which maturities are being issued.
MARKET INTERPRETATION
How investors should read it
Supply is therefore a curve-specific market variable rather than only a fiscal statistic.
BONDSTATS TAKEAWAY
The same market move can carry different information depending on which maturity, issuer and risk premium is changing. Read the question together with the underlying concepts rather than treating one price move as a universal signal.
