The Treasury Department announced the results of this month's auction of $24 billion worth of twenty-year bonds on Wednesday, revealing the sale attracted average demand.
The twenty-year bond auction drew a high yield of 1.890 percent and a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.33.
Last month, the Treasury also sold $24 billion worth of twenty-year bonds, drawing a high yield of 2.120 percent and a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.40.
The bid-to-cover ratio is a measure of demand that indicates the amount of bids for each dollar worth of securities being sold.
The ten previous twenty-year bond auctions had an average bid-to-cover ratio of 2.35.
On Thursday, the Treasury is due to announce the details of this month's auctions of two-year, five-year and seven-year notes.
