Global IssuanceHomepageGlobal Issuance - USGlobal Issuance - Deep Dive

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

May Refunding Review: Coupon Sizes Steady; Buybacks Begin

  • Treasury’s Quarterly Refunding process for the May-Jul quarter brought limited surprises, with borrowing estimates on the high side of expectations, but nominal coupon sizes left unchanged. The key highlight was the long-awaited unveiling of buybacks for liquidity and cash management purposes.
  • Treasury conducted its first buyback operation at the end of May. MNI will now review Treasury's buyback operations of the previous month in our Deep Dives, along with a schedule of upcoming operations.
  • June is projected to see $315B in nominal Treasury coupon sales, in addition to $21B 5Y TIPS and $28B FRN for a total of $364B (Apr/May: $368B, Jul: $364B expected).
  • This month’s coupon auctions begin on June 10 with $58B (expected) of 3Y Note. MNI’s Treasury / Bill issuance calendar is regularly updated at this link.
  • May’s coupon auctions were particularly weak for instruments at the short end of the curve, per MNI's Relative Strength Indicator.
