Auction Grade: C-
After the stellar auction yesterday, the 30 year auction today was a disappointment.
- There was a positive tale of 1.0 basis points vs the WI level at the time of the auction
- Bid to cover was less than the 6 month average
- There was above average domestic demand but foreign demand was less than the 6 month average.
Just nothing great about the auction.
PS Rick Santelli on CNBC gives it a D+
