Treasury To Sell 10 Year Bonds At Record Low Yield Two Hours After Fed Buys... 10 Year Bonds
A month after the US Treasury sold $24 billion in 10 Year bonds at what was then a record low yield of 1.86%, the US government once again approaches that mysterious primary dealer-repo nexus with the latest offer US banks can't refuse: a $21 billion reopening. What is notable about today's auction is that in about 40 minutes, the auction will price at a record low yield of just about 1.63%, or 23 bps lower to the last record yield.
So far so good: after all the global economy is once again collapsing (but don't look at US stocks for validation: they only indicate whatever Brian Sack wants them to indicate). Where things get patently surreal, however, is when one takes a look at today's POMO operation conducted by the Fed (remember those). Because as can be seen on the table below from the NY Fed, at 11 am today, so precisely 2 hours before when the Treasury will complete its own sale, bought $4.8 billion of... wait for it... 10 Year bonds.
To summarize:
- At 11:00 am Fed buys $4.8 billion in 10 Year bonds
- At 1:00pm the Treasury sells $25 billion in 10 Year bonds
Only in non-monetizing America, ladies and gents.

POMO = Permanent Open Market Operations, right? As in, never-ending? As in, no QE3 needed since the monetization of UST is a perpetual initiative.
If someone ran the headline
GEITHNER STERILIZES BERNENKE
I would have been sad to find out it was just a bunch of bond transactions.
So they're only monetizing less than 1/5 of the issuance? Sounds like there's been more suckers born recently..
Forget QE 3, it's QE Infinity.
h/t Bill Gross??? Did PIMCO just join the the ZH Mod Squad?
I can't tell. Did the Fed get a good interest rate on those? ;)
Ben always pays top dollar to his primary dealer friends. Bank on it...they do.
I wish this would end already. But, not yet.
Same here. I've been reading and studying Austrian Economics for the past 2 years, and I'll be taking an online class on the Fed here in a few weeks. Here's the good and bad of it: The good is that my eyes are opened, and I can see exactly what is going on and what is going to happen. The bad news is that I realize that there isn't anything I can do to impact the bigger picture, and all I can do is watch the bankers and politicians lie and defraud hardworking regular people on a daily basis, and I think they are going to get away with it for the most part - Corzine anyone? I can't tell you how furious this makes me.
A rope and a tree are too good for these people.
The answer of what to do about it is to educate asante as you can. Friends and family are a good place to start.
I agree, but, people should understand it won't be easy.
I have been trying since before the whole shithouse blew up. Very few if any have seen the light. Too many just don't give a good fuck, or their too captured by their red team/blue team bullshit. They still listen to the MSM and believe what they are told.
Fucking robots all.
The only way the masses will see the light is when the fucking light goes off.
I agree. I've been doing that for more than a year now. The struggle for Liberty has been going on for thousands of years, and it'll still be going on long after I'm gone. It's just that the OCD in me wants to fix the problems NOW! LOL, and (remniscent of Peter Schiff's recent congressional testimony) I know the answers to the problems.
Of course you can! Exit the corrupt unsustainable system in any way possible, with your money ( not with your live ), be self sustaining as much as possible and you will see the light (virtually and figuratively). Not to say that you will feel a lot better as a human being not bound by the dependency chains that bind the entire dummy society around you.
Yes, one should exit the sytem and find ways to become as self sustainable as possible. Self survival should be a basic human instinct, even though they've tried to breed it out of us.
But that's not "doing anything". It's the equivalent of burying one's head in the sand. And it is okay to avoid damage and collateral damage. But if one is outraged at what has become of us, as a Nation and Globe, burying your head isn't part of a solution.
If everyone who says they're outraged at what's going on, took their chips off the table, the Ponzi nightmare would come crashing down sooner rather than later.
and then there's this too; Not to say that you will feel a lot better as a human being not bound by the dependency chains that bind the entire dummy society around you. - epwpixieq-1

Watching water circling a drain can be very mesmerizing...
Wait till they price a 50 year. What was that about the "End of the Debt Supercycle"? It appears "we've gone plaid" instead.
50-years bonds are for pikers. I'm waiting for the Perpetuals.
this week's treasury auctions are to be settled on friday. typically done the following monday/tuesday. why the need to hurry and settle these prior to the weekend for the first time ever???
Repeat after me... the Hellenic Republic... also now known as "The Grecian Formula"

Don't forget the POMOlist! I want some monetized spiderman towels!

As Long as JP Morgan and the TBTF wealth transfer trade is dependent on low interest rates the Fed will provide low interest rates . We don't need to "end the fed" we need to change the ownership of the Fed new ownership should exclude the influnce of the self serving corrupt political parties that make the transfer from the worker more perverted.
Dude - your down arrow is not working. We don't need a new cabal to replace the existing cabal.
LOL! It is one of the pleasures in my life to watch those bastards fail so pathetically, so ignobly, so completely.
I may not be around tomorrow, but I'm laughing my ass off today!
When the SHTF may ZH live long and prosper. What is Tyler doing to clone himself?
Life without ZH would be like Obama without a teleprompter. Impossible.
TMI Tyler.
Encountered #ref error - saw blue momentarily.
One has to be very smart to comprehend this stuff.
There are two methods, or means, and only two, whereby man’s needs and desires can be satisfied: one is the production and exchange of wealth; this is the economic means. The other is uncompensated appropriation of wealth produced by others; this is the political means...

PS: (I lifted this quote from The Daily Reckoning)
...so isn't this sort of like using one credit card to pay the other?
FRONTRUNNING. Where is the SEC?

Nothing to see here. Everybody go back to reality TV.
