10 Year Bond Prices At 3.499% As Foreign Demand Drops By 25%
Today the government auctioned off a reopening of the 912828PX2 10 Year, which at $21 billion, priced at 3.499%, and a 3.32 Bid To Cover. The auction was decent, pricing inside of expectations of 3.535%, however it was nothing like last month's blowout 10 Year which saw the highest Indirect take down on record at 71.3%. This time around, foreign institutions supposedly bouth 53% of the full amount (at a 74.5% hit rate), with Primary Dealers responsible for 40.5% (a really low 17.7% hit rate). Direct bidders remerged after their complete disappearance last month, and were responsible for 6.5% of the take down. Since the auction process is now a farce, and really no longer matters as it is merely an intermediary step to fund PDs, who promptly flip bonds back to the Fed, we refuse to dig too deep into what if anything today's action means for bond demand. If Bill Gross is correct, it means that USTs are in for a lot of pain in the future.

Is that you John Q Taxpayer? Is this me?
Could be PIMCO moved into cash and s-t durations in anticipation of a yield curve inversion, then buying back in to high s-t rates and eventually shorting 5% 30 years while waiting for them to go back to 8%.
TD, you may want to post Gundlach's interview on PowerLunch today when it becomes available. It was a good one.

Sees a 15-20% drop in Muni prices. S&P 500 to 500 if they allow deflation to set in.

With 0$ of QEzy POMO available, the auction would have sold like....um...let's see -$12B - $0.5ishB fee for holding Lootery trash for 7 days - $???WTF!!!! = ~0.
And Unky Sugah! only wants to dig the hole, what, say $2T deeper this year. Don't see a problem at all....
Well, i am glad to say that Mr Gross and i are absolutely d#accord in regard to US- and Euro- gov't bonds... those "risk-free assets" are not what they used to be ;)
I suppose that "risk free" is no longer worth the risk.

You mean to tell me the "buyer of last resort" is really the only one buying? What happened to Chindia? Whoops! India had a trade deficit of $200 BILLION last year! I guess they won't be buying! Hey, at least Germany is doing good.
except for the fact that Germany's GDP growth is now slowing...
No, Bill Gross is setting the stage for himself to get out of the game and also set up his story to tell the world that it wasn't his fault but those people fault.
