After yesterday’s abysmal 5-year Treasury auction (5.033%, BTC 2.21, ~3.1 bp tail),all eyes will be on today’s $44 billion 7-year auction. A big tail is unexpected after yesterday’s weakness, with investors already anticipating a higher yield. Instead, watch for BTC under 2.5, high dealer allocation (>12%), and indirect (foreign) demand under 60% for signaled weakness. An auction like this will show increasing market dysfunction.
