AUCTION GRADE: D
It wasn't a total failure but the auction stunk. The bid to cover was low, the tail was high relative to the WI level at the time of the auction. The international demand was low. The domestic demand was okay but it seems the domestic demand is being influenced by things like stablecoin demand. The dealers were saddled with a big amount at 16.6%
