Context
The recent auction of USD 69 billion in 2-year notes saw a high yield of 3.812%, which, while lower than the previous auction, still reflects market expectations. The low tail of 0.1bps suggests strong demand, with a solid bid-to-cover ratio of 2.65x indicating investors were eager to acquire these notes, even as dealer participation declined significantly.
