10Y Auction Preview: Hoping To End A Weak Run With $32B Sale

US TSYS/SUPPLY

The second coupon auction of the day (and the month) is the $32B 10Y Note re-open (CUSIP: 91282CHC8).

  • The 10Y has had a poor run of auctions, with the last three tailing, dragging down the running averages for indirect takeup and bid-to-cover (see table below).
  • In fact, outside of January's 0.5bp trade through, you have to go back to October 2021 to find a 10Y re-opening that traded through.
  • May's sale was a moderate improvement from the prior two sales, tailing by 1.1bp (3.448% high yield vs 3.437% when-issued yield) vs 2.3bp and 3.0bp for the prior two, and a relative bounce-back in periphery stats.
  • The current when-issued yield is printing 3.77%, which - like the solid but unspectacular 3Y Note sale earlier in the session - would mark the highest since March's auction (3.985%).
  • Timing: The 10Y note sale results will available shortly after the competitive auction closes at 1300ET.
