Context
The recent US auction of $44 billion in 7-year notes shows a higher yield than previous auctions, indicating that investors are demanding more compensation for holding longer-term debt amid rising rates. The 0.8bps tail suggests weaker demand compared to the previous auction, as illustrated by a slight decline in the bid-to-cover ratio, which reinforces concerns about market appetite for fixed income in the current inflationary environment.
