US TSYS/30Y
US TSYS/30Y: Treasuries ebb amid delayed pre-auction shorts/sales and caution
into 1pm ET Thurs 30Y bond auction, after so-so Wed $23B 10Y auction followed
stellar Tuesday $24B 3Y auction. Some feel more concession needed as 10Y auction
Wed came at pricey levels, after Tues/Wed safe-haven rally on N.Korea worries. 
- US buyers (insurers, banks, hedge funds) could prevail in buying size at 30Y
sale but still, mild Japanese and Chinese bid cld arise; weak US$/yen could aid
Jpn bid. 
- Jpn lifers esp. but also regional banks, other types "do buy 30Y auctions,"
said a trader. "But it is rare for the mega-banks to buy the 30Ys: they prefer
the 7Y, 10Y Tsys." 
- Chinese accounts buy a bit of each Tsy auction maturity including 30-years,
said traders. They did not have a view on European demand, but Tsys offer more
yield than EGBs. 
- SMRA John Canavan: Auction will "raise $10.177B" given $4.823B maturing 30Y" 
- HISTORY: July 30Y auctn: 2.936% rate, 2.31 cover, 3.00% cpn, 61.7% indirects,
6.4% directs, 31.9% dealers.
