The Treasury Department commenced this week's series of long-term securities auction announcements on Monday, disclosing that this month's auction of three-year notes, valued at $58 billion, experienced slightly above-average demand.
The auction for these three-year notes yielded a high rate of 4.332 percent, with a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.62. In comparison, the previous month's sale of an identical amount of three-year notes resulted in a high yield of 4.117 percent and a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.58.
For context, the bid-to-cover ratio serves as a gauge for demand, illustrating the volume of bids received for every dollar of securities offered.
Historically, the last ten auctions for three-year notes reported an average bid-to-cover ratio of 2.57.
The Treasury is also set to announce the outcomes of this month's auctions for $39 billion in ten-year notes and $22 billion in thirty-year bonds on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively.
