AUCTION GRADE:C+

The WI level at the time of the auction was 4.291%. The seven year note was auctioned off at a high yield of 4.290% just below that level. The bid to cover came in near the average. The mix however was very much skewed toward international buyers. They took a whopping 78.4% (well above the 61.2 average), while domestic buyers only took 11.2% (below the average of 27.5).

The numbers from the buyers were a bit mixed up, but overall demand as measured by the tail, the bid to cover, and dealer percentage were near the averages.
