US TSYS/SUPPLY: 10Y Note Tails 0.6bp In Refunding, Mixed Peripheral Statistics

Nov-12 18:11

The 10Y Treasury Note tailed by 0.6bp at Wednesday's $42B refunding auction, drawing a high yield of 4.074% vs a when-issued yield of 4.068%.

  • This is the 2nd consecutive tail for the 10Y and the 3rd in 4 (tailed 1.0bp in August and 0.5bp in October).
  • Periphery statistics were mixed: bid-to-cover was 2.43x (lowest since August, prior 5-auction average 2.52x, last 3 refundings average 2.48x) with primary dealer takeup 10.45% (highest since August, 5-auction average 9.86% although this has averaged 13.3% in the prior 3 refundings).
  • Directs took 22.55% of competitives (20.11% 5-auction average, down from 24.10% prior) with indirects taking 67.00% (almost exactly in line with 66.80% prior).
  • TY futures dropped a tick following the result but have since pared that loss.
  • The 10Y reopen is scheduled for Dec 9 ($39B).
