30 Year Treasury Auction Is Catastrophic
Stopping at a high yield of 1.940%, the auction was slightly below last month's 2.049%, but it was supposed to be far better, because while the When Issued traded at 1.888% the auction tailed by 5.2bps, which was the biggest tail on record for the 30Y tenor. The bid to cover of 2.202 was far below last month's 2.360 and below the six auction-average of 2.292. But it was the internals that were ugliest of all, with Indirects taking down just 59.0%, a collapse from last month's 70.55% and far bleow the recent average of 64.3%.

Brace for far, far uglier auctions in the coming months from a market that is now fully habituated to getting everything it wants from the Fed. And yes, it will get another QE, it just has to wait a bit until stocks drops 10% or so before Powell throws in the towel.
