No from what I can tell. The higher the long term bonds ramp up relative to the short term bonds the more likely it is that interest rates on a number of things will have to rise in the future. It has been ramping hard till they took the super short bonds up just a bit in interest.

The bond market always seems to know where the economy is heading. It's like it has access to our bank account information and tax returns. Oh wait. It TOTALLY does.

Evidently the market (bonds) doesn't like these results.

Has someone kept trace of the last driblets of above-board QE? What remains that can be used to relieve the dealers of this cusip?

It's one of the many, much appreciated things that Tyler does.

Yes, the QE data is much appreciated, and the $5.6B could be completely gone anyday.

What did the lady say,"During the S&L crisis there were 1000 Federal indictments with only 3000 Savings and Loans."  When will someone indict the writers of the MBS?  Can a democracy do otherwise than reflect the values of its People?

What are the lyrics from that old tune?

Slip sliding away.

I don't understand the slip sliding reference or the "bond market doesn't like these results" analysis.  30-yr. is trading in secondary at 3.98, the yield came in at essentially 4.01 versus an expected 4.00, and is trading way above par at 108. 

What part of the results indicates the bond markets portend a dim future?  I'm not being rhetorical, I simply can't read the tea leaves clearly, as I see no particluar doom in this report. 

(BTW, thanks for keepin' 'em coming, TD)

OK, but wait, isn't this just an example of the Fed failing to tlak down the market enough in advance of this auction?  Stocks are up, so wouldn't we expect treasuries to be down?

Am I being foolish to think that this drubbing of long bonds could be the moment the shorts have been waiting for?

2.37 ratio? Were we not in the 3's last couple of months? Sounds like a weakening market
