Earlier today Dai Ichi insurance and Nippon Life insurance said that they were to cut U.S. Treasury holdings in favor of JGBs in FY 2023, as they become wary of high FX hedging costs, and the risk of JPY appreciation (lower USDJPY). I wonder if such a shift will be reflected in things like the Bid to cover, or even lead to higher tails and less indirect bidding? Of course there is still huge international demand, and they are not stopping but cutting their demand. The international demand has been saving the day in most treasury auctions.

Yesterday the 3 year note saw a tail of -2.8 basis points, thanks to record demand from international buyers.

Tomorrow the U.S. Treasury will auction off 30 year bonds to complete the refunding this week.
