MNI UST Issuance Deep Dive: Dec 2023

US TSYS/SUPPLY

We've just published our latest UST Issuance Deep Dive - PDF ANALYSIS HERE

  • The November 1 Treasury refunding announcement brought a more market-friendly announcement than had been expected/feared by some analysts - even so the upsizing was substantial, with the November refunding month bringing $276B in coupon sales, vs $246B in August’s refunding.
  • November’s coupon auctions were generally mixed, with 4 coupons tailing and 3 trading through. However, three of the tailing auctions were extremely weak, while the 20Y trade-through stood out as the strongest.
  • We don’t usually single out individual auctions in our monthly Deep Dives but November’s 30Y Bond auction was historically weak and - while possibly a one-off - does not bode well for demand for duration.
  • The December auction schedule kicks off with 3Y Note and 10Y Note on Dec 11 – details to be announced on Dec 7.
