US TSYS/SUPPLY: Review 2Y Note Auction: Solid

May-27 17:15

May's $69B 2Y Note traded through by 1bp at Tuesday's auction (3.955% high yield versus a 3.965% when-issued yield)..

  • That's the highest trade-through for 2s since February and comes with mixed peripheral statistics: dealers took down just 10.5% of competitives (11.3% 5-auction average), with indirects of 63.3% slightly on the low side (5-auc average 72.9%) and bid-to-cover of 2.57x (5-auc average 2.62x), though each statistic was improved from April's weak sale.(0.5bp tail, 13.7% primary dealers/56.2% indirects, 2.52x bid-to-cover).
  • Market reaction to the auction result was modestly positive, with the current 2Y Tsy dipping about 0.5bp to session low 3.968% (today's trade has largely been within Friday's ranges).

EURUSD is trading just ahead of its latest highs. Trend conditions are bullish and moving average studies remain in a bull mode position, highlighting a dominant uptrend. The Apr 21 - May 12 bear leg appears to have been a correction. Sights are on 1.1453, a Fibonacci retracement. Key support lies at 1.1143, the 50-day EMA. A clear break of the average would highlight a stronger reversal and signal scope for a deeper retracement.
