NOT A GOOD BACKDROP FOR US 30-YEAR BOND AUCTION
The U.S. Treasury is set to auction $25 billion in 30-year bonds later on Thursday. This follows Wednesday's weak 10-year note auction, which tailed more than 3 basis points (bps), meaning the high yield that was accepted and awarded was higher than the expected rate at the bid deadline.
Analysts say the 30-year auction could very well come out with the same result.
Vail Hartman, U.S. rates strategist, at BMO Capital Markets, writes in a research note, that the last four times a 10-year auction tailed by at least two bps, the following long-bond auction also tailed. He adds that since 2010, only 29% of long-bond refundings managed to stop through -- the high yield goes below the rate forecast for the auction -- when the preceding 10-year new-issue tailed by at least a basis point.
Hartman further lays out factors that could weigh on the auction, such as August being seasonally negative for 30-year bond supply.
"We haven't seen a long-bond auction stop-through during August since 2014. Additionally, only one of the last fifteen August 30-year auctions stopped-through," he adds.
But there could be redeeming factors though, including pretty consistent demand from investors such as pension funds and insurance companies that need to match their liabilities with long-term securities. These investors tend not to be sensitive to interest rate movements.
Hartman also thinks the Treasury's relatively moderate financing estimate for the final quarter of the fiscal year as well as the department's statement saying it does not anticipate increasing coupon auction sizes for at least the next several quarters are helping partly ease supply anxiety, for now.
