So the long bond auction not impressive ...
U.S. gets weak demand at 30-year sale; bonds fall
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- The Treasury Department sold $16 billion in 30-year bonds 30_YEAR +7.11% on Thursday at a yield of 3.75%, well above the level traders expected it to price at but also the lowest level since October. Bidders offered to buy 2.08 times the amount of debt sold, the lowest so-called bid-to-cover ratio since at least 2009 and compared to an average of 2.51 times at the last four auctions of new long bonds. Indirect bidders, a group of investors which includes foreign central banks, bought just 12.2% of the sale, the lowest ever according to CRT Capital group and versus an average of 40.1%. Direct bidders, including domestic money managers, purchased another 19.5%, compared to 11.5% on average. After the auction, long-term debt extended losses sharply, pushing benchmark yields up much more from near-record lows. Yields on 10-year notes 10_YEAR +6.30% rose 17 basis points to 2.32%, up from 2.25% before the auction ended. |
