So this turns out to be a groundbreaking day for Treasury auctions.
Today’s $21 billion offering of 10-year notes got sold at a 1.9% yield,
under the prior record low of 2%, set in the September auction, and the 1.
909% yield the market expected before the sale.
The bid-to-cover ratio, a key gauge of overall demand, was 3.29, compared to
an average 3.09 of the previous eight sales.
The indirect bid, a proxy measure of foreign demand, was 38.3%, versus a 45.
3% average. The direct bid, which includes offers from domestic mutual funds
, came in at 17.4%, compared with a recent average of 12%.
The benchmark 10-year note stayed near session highs after the auction,
trading 18/32 higher to yield 1.911%.
The 5-year Treasury note was recently yielding 0.82%, which is just above
the all-time low of 0.79% from last September. |
