  • Offering Amount: $70 billion (accepted: $70,000,003,200).
  • High Yield: 3.710%.
  • Price per $100: 99.615328.

  • Bidder Allocations: Indirect (59%): $41.5B; Direct (29%): $20.0B; Primary Dealers (12%): $8.3B.

Overall, the auction showed strong investor interest, with foreign and institutional buyers (indirect) taking the largest share, typical for a well-received sale.

But markets don't care, Powell's speech yesterday was markedly different from the post FOMC presser last week and that's what is moving markets.
