Non-Dealer Interest In 3 Year US Paper Plunges To January 2009 Levels

Tyler Durden's picture




 

A few days ago, Bloomberg released an article in which it described the lamentations emanating from the Primary Dealers whose role in bond purchases is being increasingly undercut by Direct bidders who get to buy US paper directly from the Treasury and without Dealer intermediation. Well, no such worries in today's just concluded $32 billion auction of 3 Year paper, which closed moments ago at a high yield of 0.342%, the lowest "high yield" in 2013 and a Bid To Cover of 3.238, the lowest since September 2011. But what was most notable is that the combined take down of Directs and Indirects was a tiny 35.1%: the lowest non Dealer interest since January 2009. Naturally, the Dealer take down was the inverse or 64.9%, which also was the largest since January 2009. Obviously all this paper will be promptly sold back to the Fed, but any artificial (and inaccurate) concerns that Dealers are not getting their due allocation of paper can now be put to rest.

The question of why this cash-equivalent paper was not in big demand with the non-dealer community is applicable, but at this point no actual logical and fundamental questions matter. All one should know is to buy stocks because every central bank is now solely focused on sending the DJIA to 36,000 or bust.

I would never buy any government "paper". Not that I understand treasuries or bonds that well anyway, but I view them for what they are: paper promises. Yeah, those are working well lately.

All fiat currencies are paper promises.  When fraud is the status quo, possession is the law.

"All one should know is to buy stocks because every central bank is now solely focused on sending the DJIA to 36,000 or bust."

how fucking fraudulent will it look when the dow hits 20k, the ten year is 1% and Bernak is still going at 150 mil/mo and CNBC is running around with their party hats on while security is trying to beat back the zombie apocalypse outside the studio doors.

"Just wait until those dollars start coming back home,"  -  Will it matter if they are not excepted by anyone?  I think not.  With respect to America, the interest alone is now around 500 billion.  Where does all that "money" go?  Sad that the only thing preventing hyperinflation right now is a fraudulent liquidity trap.

I look at the chart and I'm having a hard time justifying why this data looks any different than it has since 2010.
