AUCTION Grade: A-

Highlights:

The first stop through since July for the 5 year issue. The average of the last 6 points has been +1.2 basis points. The bid to cover was comfortably above the six-month average. The international demand was strong and offset a weaker domestic demand. The dealers were saddled with much less than the average over the last 6 months.

Solid auction.
