MNI UST Issuance Deep Dive: Dec 2022

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

  • Treasury's quarterly Refunding announcement on Nov 2 was largely in line with MNI's expectations: expected nominal coupon sizes were left unchanged across the board for the current quarter.
  • MNI sees $222B nominal coupon issuance in Dec and Jan, rising to $231B in refunding months, in line with the refunding announcement. That compares to peaks of $336B for refunding months in 2021.
  • TIPS and FRN sizes were left mostly unchanged, with the notable exception of the 5Y TIPS re-open in December which was upsized by $1B to $19B. MNI had anticipated a potential uptick in TIPS sizes.
  • While coupon sizes will grow again in future, that may not happen until well into 2023, and our estimates reflect a likely unchanged issuance schedule through the 1st half.
  • Nominal coupon issuance restarts next week with expected $40B 3Y Note and $32B 10Y Note re-open on Dec 12, and $18B 30Y Bond re-open on Dec 13.
