On one hand today's 2 Year bond auction priced, as expected, at the widest level since April 2011, or 0.589%, on rising concerns that the Fed may, all economic signs to the contrary, raise rates in the coming year. On the other hand, this was arguably the strongest 2 Year auction at this yield, in all of 2014. First, the auction stopped through a substantial 0.6bps through the 0.595% When Issued. Then, the Bid to Cover was a solid 3.564, the second highest of 2014, only lower than February's 3.605. Finally, the internals also were very solid, with Directs taking down 16.11% and Indirects holding 40.91%, the most since March 2014, leaving only 42.98% to the Dealers, which was also the lowest since March. A trend has emerged: the higher that yield, the more the demand, which is what one would expect in a world without endless Fed manipulation and central-planning. Could we be getting some hints of normalization? And how soon until yields resume their downward path as the current rate hike scare blows off yet agaian?
