30-Year Bond Auction  
Definition
Treasury bonds are sold at regularly scheduled public auctions. The competitive bids at these auctions determine the interest rate paid on each Treasury note issue. Twenty-three primary dealers are authorized and obligated to submit competitive tenders at Treasury auctions. Dealers can hold, resell, or trade the securities with other firms. The Treasury announces the amount, date and time of the 30-year bond auction twice a year - on the first Wednesday of February and August. The bond is auctioned the following week, usually on Thursday and it is issued (settled) on the 15th of the month. If the 15th falls on a weekend or a holiday, it is issued on the next business day. After calling a hiatus in the issuance of 30 Year bonds in 2001, Treasury reinstituted them in February 2006 and followed with another auction in August. Plans are for four auctions in 2007.

Highlights
Customers were very thin at today's 30-year bond auction where coverage was a weak 1.82 percent and the 4.449 percent stop-out rate nearly 5 basis points above expectations. Indirect bidding was very weak at 11 percent, well down from 32 percent in the last auction in November and indicating weak interest from institutional customers. The weakness is surprising given talk in the market of strong foreign demand for the issue. But perhaps the rising risk of inflation, the softness in the dollar, and the prospect of increasing supply scared customers away. Today's results wind up a small and quick quarterly refunding. But no matter how much the Treasury will rely on bills to fund the government's debt, there is certain to be larger refundings in the coming quarters.
