US Treasury auction draws good indirect bidding
Tuesday May 11, 1:22 pm ET
NEW YORK, May 11 (Reuters) - Treasuries held modest gains on Tuesday after an auction of new U.S. government debt attracted reasonable overall demand, boding well for the rest of this week's $54 billion refunding.
The sale of $24 billion in new three-year Treasury notes went at a high yield of 3.199 percent and drew bids for 2.08 times the amount on offer, off February's 2.27 level, but above the 1.80 average of last year's auctions.
Indirect bidders, including customers of primary dealers and foreign central banks, picked up $10.79 billion, or 45 percent, of the issue. That was only just below February's 46 percent and compares with an average 31 percent at the previous four auctions. Primary dealers themselves got $12.79 billion of the sale.
The current three-year note (US3YT=RR) was 1/32 firmer in price, taking yields to 3.06 percent from 3.075 percent late on Monday. In when-issued trading, the new three-year paper had been yielding 3.205 percent just before the sale.
