Auction grade D+

Summary:

The only good from the auction was that the domestic demand was higher than the average, but for the 2nd auction today, the international demand was light (and lower than the 6 month average). The tail was reflective of the weak demand at 1.5 basis points (versus 0.9% 6-month average).
