Finishing off this week's series of announcements of the results of its long-term securities auctions, the Treasury Department on Wednesday revealed this month's auction of $44 billion worth of seven-year notes attracted slighly below average demand.
The seven-year note auction drew a high yield of 3.930 percent and a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.51.
Last month, the Treasury also sold $44 billion worth of seven-year notes, drawing a high yield of 3.781 percent and a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.46.
The bid-to-cover ratio is a measure of demand that indicates the amount of bids for each dollar worth of securities being sold.
The ten previous seven-year note auctions had an average bid-to-cover ratio of 2.55.
Earlier this week, the Treasury revealed this month's auctions of $69 billion worth of two-year notes attracted modestly below average demand, while this month's auction of $70 billion worth of five-year notes both attracted average demand.
