Preview 7Y Auction: Demand Test Moves Further Down The Curve

US TSYS/SUPPLY

The Treasury concludes this week's coupon issuance, and a 2-day auction mini-spree, with today's sale of $47B 7-Yr Note (1300ET).

  • This follows on from mixed auction results Monday (weak 2Y and solid 5Y sales), though today's sale presents arguably a different demand test with the 7Y segment less sensitive to Fed rate policy than those.
  • The last 7Y auction (Feb 24, for $50B) traded through by 1bp on a high yield of 1.91% and bid-to-cover of 2.36x, with dealers taking just 12.3% (5-auction averages for those stats are 1.64%, 2.32x, and 16.4%, respectively).
  • As with much of the curve, 7s yields are trading at multi-year highs (2.65% posted yest was highest since March 2019). But relative value on the curve is not particularly compelling: the 5s-7s-10s butterfly has been fairly flat for most of 2022, albeit at 8bp now is up from zero earlier in the month.
  • Likewise, with yields off 10bp from session highs (currently 2.53%), the concession going into the auction isn't quite as compelling as it might have been.
