Treasury's bill auction sizes for this week were unexpectedly upped: 4-week by $5B to a record $105B, 8-week also by $5B to a joint-record $90B, and 4-month by $2B to a record $67B. See chart below for size history.

• Instead of raising $5B in net cash if they had been unchanged, these will raise $17B on next Tuesday Oct 7's settlement.
• Most expectations we'd seen were for bill sizes to remain relatively steady until later in October so this is coming a little early.
• While it's not clear this was the reasoning, Treasury's TGA cash position had been seen as a little weaker than had been expected in September, and likely to fall short of the $850B targeted for today's end-quarter date (was $786B as of the last Treasury statement date on Sept 26).
