Oct 07
The U.S. Treasury auctioned $58 billion in three-year notes Tuesday at an elevated cost.
The notes sold at a yield of 4.932%, the highest since an auction held in May 2006, which had a high yield of 4.995%.
Demand indicators were mixed. The bid-to-cover ratio was a below-average 2.62. On the other hand, the auction cleared at a slightly lower cost than the 4.934% when-issued yield at the time of the tender.
Indirect bidders, a group that includes foreign investors, acquired 57.6% of the offer, after averaging 63% in the previous 12 months.
Following the auction results, the on-the-run three-year yield traded at 4.926%, according to Tradeweb.
