  • The yield is the highest since April 2010
  • The bid to cover was at 2.83x vs 2.70x last
  • 54.3 on indirects
  • 7.1% on directs

IN about 90 minutes the treasury will auction 10 year notes.

The reason the treasury is auctioning both 3s and 10s is because of the Columbus Day holiday on Monday.
