Refunding Preview: Coupon Increases Across The Board

US TSYS/SUPPLY

Re-upping our August UST Issuance Deep Dive published yesterday, which previews today's Treasury Refunding Announcement (0830ET / 1330UK):

  • MNI’s current expectations for the upcoming quarter include $2B raises to 2s/3s/5s and $1B to 7s in each month, with 10Y sizes $3B higher, 20Y up $1B, and 30Y up $2B. If anything this is conservatively low for 7s, 20s, and 30s. Overall this means nominal sales will total $249B in Oct, vs $222B equivalent in the prior quarter.
  • Most analysts are in line with those expectations for 2s, 3s, and 5s, with 7Y seen either steady or up $3B, 10Y up $3-4B, 20Y up $0-2B, and 30Y up $1-2B.
  • Attention will also be on TBAC's recommended financing table for the following quarter.
  • Apart from the coupon sizes, the refunding announcement could bring more clarity on buybacks.
