- High yield set at auction: 4.932%
- When-issued level at sale time: 4.934%
- Stop-through: 0.2 basis points, compared with the average of 0.3 basis points
- Bid-to-cover ratio: 2.62 times, versus the average of 2.65 times

- Indirect bidders accounted for 57.6%, below the average of 65.9%
- Dealers received 10.7%, under the average of 12.6%
Auction grade: C+
Overall, the auction was slightly above average. The Treasury sold the notes 0.2 basis points under the when-issued yield, though the stop-through was a touch narrower than normal. The bid-to-cover ratio also fell just below the historical norm. The standout came from direct bidders, whose stronger participation offset weaker indirect demand and left dealers with a below-average allocation. Bids were sufficient to clear through the when-issued level, but the tepid indirect participation keeps the assessment measured.
On Tuesday, the US Treasury will auction 10-year notes, followed by 30-year bonds on Wednesday.
Markets showed little movement following the roughly average auction.
