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 below average demand.
The thirty-year bond auction drew a high yield of 5.020 percent and a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.33.
Last month, the Treasury sold $25 billion worth of thirty-year bonds, drawing a high yield of 5.046 percent and a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.30.
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 thirty-year bond auctions had an average bid-to-cover ratio of 2.39.
Earlier this week, the Treasury revealed this month's auctions of $58 billion worth of three-year notes attract average demand, while this month's auction of $39 billion worth of ten-year notes attracted above average demand.
