PREVIEW: 7yr Auction Result to Test Appetite Amid Volatility

US TSYS
  • Following a mixed showing from the 2yr, 5yr auctions Monday, attention turns to the 7yr line on tap in just over an hour's time.
  • BMO flag that the sell-off in Treasuries since last week's Fed has built in a solid concession ahead of today's sale, which could benefit the 7yr to a greater degree than yesterday's 5yr auction given their more compelling relative value.
  • Nonetheless, they also flag that markets could be hesitant at auction given Monday/Tuesday volatility and as such, they project either further weakness into the bidding deadline or a small tail in the results.

Historical averages:

  • Bid/cover: 2.31
  • Directs awarded: 19.8%
  • Indirects awarded: 58.9%
  • Dealer takedown: 21.3%
