- The tail was -0.6 bps
- Bid to cover was above the six month average
- Dealers were saddled with less than the six month average
- Indirects (foreign demand) was higher than normal
- Directs, a measure of domestic demand, was also higher.
Grade: B+. There was a yield concession vs the yields at this time yesterday which made floating the issue easier than the A- grade from similar results seen at the auction yesterday. Nevertheless, a solid showing.
