US sells USD 105bln of 4-wk bills at a high rate of 3.630%, B/C 3.63x; sells USD 95bln of 8-wk bills at a high rate of 3.630%, B/C 2.88x.

The recent auction results for US treasury bills indicate strong demand, particularly with bid-to-cover ratios above typical benchmarks. The stable high rate across both 4-week and 8-week bills suggests an environment where investors are seeking safe-haven assets, potentially reflecting concerns about economic growth or inflation expectations. This outcome could lead to upward pressure on short-end rates and impact the currency markets, particularly the USD.
