Auction grade: C+

There was no tail. The bid to cover came in at the six-month average. What was better is that the dealers were saddled with less than 6 month average of 10% versus 14.9%. Both the directs and indirects support was higher than the six-month average suggesting a balanced - but better than normal - distribution to both.
