Treasury bond auction
  • Prior was 4.327%
  • Bid to cover 2.61 vs 2.58 prior

This is the third auction this week and the tie-breaker. The 2-year sale tailed and the 5-year sale stopped through.

With another strong one here (and perhaps some quarter-end demand) US yields are lower by 3 to 4.5 bps across the curve and at the extremes of the day.
