The Treasury Department finished off this week's series of announcements of the results of its long-term securities auctions on Thursday, revealing this month's auction of $22 billion worth of thirty-year bonds attracted above average demand.
The thirty-year bond auction drew a high yield of 4.871 percent and a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.45.
Last month, the Treasury sold $25 billion worth of thirty-year bonds, drawing a high yield of 4.750 percent and a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.66.

The Treasury revealed earlier this week that this month's auction of $58 billion worth of three-year notes and $39 billion worth of ten-year notes both attracted below average demand.
