US sells 5-year notes at 1.484% vs 1.480% expected

  • The ‘when issued’ bid just before the sale was 1.480%
  • Highest yield since July 2011
  • Five-year Treasuries have been especially hard hit since the FOMC, rising approx 40 bps
  • Bid-to-cover at 2.45 vs 2.79 at the previous auction

Demand was a touch soft compared to expectations but nothing to stir markets.
