The U.S. Treasury's $44 billion auction of 7-year notes saw a high yield of 4.512%, marking the highest level since December 2024. This result aligned perfectly with the pre-auction yield at the 1 p.m. New York time bidding deadline, indicating that market demand met expectations.

The pre-auction yield had risen by approximately 2 basis points during the day, and the market's reaction to the auction results was minimal. Primary dealers took down 12.3% of the issue, a decrease from the previous auction, while direct bidders increased their allocation to 27%. Indirect bidders saw their share fall to 60.8%.

The bid-to-cover ratio stood at 2.50 times, slightly above the average of 2.49 times recorded across the six previous auctions of the same maturity.
