US 5-year note auction

  • The notes were trading at 2.660% on the bid side ahead of the sale
  • Prior 2.434%
  • Bid-to-cover 2.44 vs 2.48 prior

A touch on the strong side but not enough to make a difference in FX. The strong result was similar to yesterday's 2-year sale and it shows that the market isn't convinced yet that higher yields are coming.

That could change after the FOMC minutes.
