The U.S. Treasury auctioned off at 60 billion of 2 year notes at a high yield of 0.152%. That compares favorably to the pre-auction WI level of 0.159%.

Dealers were saddled with less than the 33.3% of the auction (only 24.9%). The Indirects, a measure of foreign demand, came in strong at 57.1% vs the six month average of 50.6%.

Overall a strong auction. I give it a grade of A.
