Treasury Sells First Floating Rate Notes In Heavily Subscribed Auction
Moments ago, the US Treasury sold its first $15 billion in 2 Year Floating Rate Notes, providing investors with yet another product that "protects" against inflation, following the 1997 introduction of TIPS, which courtesy of their linkage to the official BLS hedonically and seasonally-adjusted definition of "inflation" have mostly protected investors from any real gains. Here are the results.
- High Discount Margin: 0.045%, compares to a yield of 0.38% on yesterday's 2 Year Fixed Rate Auction.
- Bid To Cover: 5.67x, and while apples and oranges, this is notably higher than yesterday's Fixed 2 Year which priced at a 3.297 BTC.
- Indirects took down 37.8%, compared to 28.5% for Fixed
- Directs took down 8.9%, compared to 22.4% for Fixed
- Dealers left with 53.2%, compared to 49.2% for Fixed.
And so the new product is off.

Floating rate notes to protect against inflation? But they keep telling us there is no inflation. No thanks I'll stick to gold.
You might want to spell out the second "Bid to Cover", otherwise Fonestar is going to get a hard-on!
i need to get into those gaurownfucinteed myracare bonds...fuck just the tip.... i want the whole thing...
the floating rate instrument will do wonders for the nation's monetary -- and fiscal -- policy, going forward
what we have in mind, for example, is to create an agency within the treasury
the agency will borrow from the fed at zero percent
then use that money to buy bonds that momentarily pay, say, 10,000 percent
which will allow the agency to be self-funding and to provide liquidity for the ongoing needs of the federal government's many important functions

ps .. many thanks to ken lay for his help with this innovative plan, and who has graciously agreed to manage the new agency
Can we get these into MyRA's ?

"Bid To Cover: 5.67x, and while apples and oranges, this is notably higher than yesterday's Fixed 2 Year which priced at a 3.297 BTC"
They are pricing treasuries in bitcoins now?!?
So in 24 hours we have MyRA which sounds a lot like a 401K grab, and floating rate notes. Following Marla's playbook right down the line now.
Days like today are the most fun days to be on ZH. Good times.
wahat a fucking joke...
by any means necessary they gotta try to keep the ponzi alive...
nah, i'll stick with my Metlas.....thanks anyways assholes...
I would say a floating rate note is close to the end.....it is the final protection for fiat..
bullish
its a sucker bet, anybody other than the state that thinks they can "game" inflation through govt securities is a sucker.
Floaters. The US Treasury is a floater. Like a piece of shit.
It's collateralized with the U.S. taxpayers' promise to pay.
Isn't that funny? Like how do we pay on that federal deficit when we have no private sector or purchasing power? The dumbocrats didn't think of the obvious? Were they snorting and "not inhaling", thumping bibles with racists or snorting and inhaling because it was the point? They can't afford to kill anymore of their braincells either, the inebriation factor on Capitol Hill and K&J Streets is directly proportional to the size of our economic woes.
The lobbyists bribed our legislators for that "promise" on the vulnerable who can't afford to bribe a lawmaker on K&J Streets.
Since the US cashflow only comes from foreign loans to the U.S. Treasury, how is this financed without a private sector?
China knows! They're the ones who barred their citizens from investing in the PRIVATIZED US financial sector while they bought up Treasuries to finance corruption in our government.
OPEC still loves us, once the value of our currency is forced to rise somehow, we will be broker than shit.
Thanks boomer elected government for robbing us of purchasing power that the politicrats prolly inside trade currencies in the global market to protect themselves from. Well if they're not, we can't afford any more bailouts or even that federal deficit we already have.
This is a brilliant scam they're running. Think about this for a second. Right now we're near the peak of the biggest asset bubble in history. What happens when it pops? Asset prices will collapse and the BLS will say the country is experiencing severe deflation (ie housing prices drop 50% in one year). With the floating rate tied to a fake deflation number, the floating rate bond might actually have a negative nominal yield. They're straight up going to steal your money if you buy these.
On the same day the Fed says there is no infaltion...
