Treasury Announces Details Of This Month’s Twenty-Year Bond Auction
The Treasury Department on Thursday announced the details of this month’s auction of twenty-year bonds.
The Treasury revealed plans to sell $13 billion worth of twenty-year bonds, with the results of the auction due to be announced next Wednesday.
Last month, the Treasury also said $13 billion worth of twenty-year bonds, attracting well above average demand.
The twenty-year bond auction drew a high yield of 4.542 percent and a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.79, while the ten previous twenty-year bond auctions had an average bid-to-cover ratio of 2.61.
The bid-to-cover ratio is a measure of demand that indicates the amount of bids for each dollar worth of securities being sold.
