US TSYS/SUPPLY: Traders projected mild US and foreign bid at the 11:30am ET
US$24B 3Y auction; it is relatively cheap but there is the spectre of the US
rate hike later this week.
- Cantor Fitz's Justin Lederer said the Treasury "will kick-off this week's
auctions with its regularly scheduled 3 and 6 month bill auctions along with
$24Bln 3 year notes and $20Bln 10 year notes. The auctions have been moved up to
accommodate for the FOMC and 12/15 settlement."
- He added that on 3Y auction that "we expect decent demand albeit would not be
surprised by a small concession and/or small tail leading into 11:30. All-in-all
we do believe the sector is vulnerable to higher rates with future increases in
Treasury issuance and the Fed in play but believe there will be willing buyers
at the highest auction stop since 2009."
