The gap between 1 month and 3 month Tbills has never been this wide. This gap opened up over the past month.

The debt ceiling impasse is likely to occur within that gap, but this type of gap didn’t open during prior debt ceiling debacles, and so some analysts argue it’s more of a collateral shortage issue.

What does this mean to you lyn?

It is because of the debt ceiling. People want to hold treasuries that mature before the debt ceiling is hit. This increases the price resp. lowers the interest rate.

Do we have to expect an "event" between 1 month and 3 month in future?

Could it be a high demand for ultra short treasuries from money market funds as people realized how banks (don't) hold their money?

This is exactly it. This banking crisis isn't over.

some fear over treasury auction shutdown over budget impasse

Crazy. People are afraid, with cracks again showing up in the most secure part of fiat's base layer. Earthquake.
