Stellar 20Y Auction Stops Through, Sees 2nd Highest Foreign Bid On Record After a furious rout in bonds, rates traders were carefully looking at today''s 20Y auction to see if the recent blowout in yields meant less demand for US paper at auction, or inversely, if the drop in prices had sparked a hunt for bargains. And if the 20 year reopening auction which just closed with the sale of $20BN in 19-year 10-month cusip TC2 is any indication, the answer is resoundingly the latter. While yields had dropped sharply on the day (granted after yesterday''s surge), some were worried that the lack of a concession would lead to a tail in today''s sale. However, not only did that not happen, but the auction - which priced at a high yield of 2.210% - stopped through the When Issued 2.225% by 1.5bps, the second biggest stop through since June 2021. That said, with a yield some 27bps above the December auction, today''s auction cleared at the highest yield since June. The bid to cover was solid, and while it was below last month''s stellar 2.59, at 2.48 it was well above the six-auction average of 2.39%.

Here''s What The Fed''s Quantitative Tightening Will Look Like As we noted last night , the December FOMC meeting minutes included a lengthy discussion of the timing and speed of Fed balance sheet shrinkage (quantitative tightening or "QT"), an unexpected twist which sent risk assets and Treasurys tumbling. The broad message appears to be that QT will start sooner than it did in the previous tightening cycle, and proceed at a faster pace although as the Fed''s Bullard (who is a voting member this year) observed, the runoff could be passive, i.e., not involve actual selling but merely be the result of maturing securities held by the Fed. In any case, in a note from BofA economist Aditya Bhave, he argues that the Feds balance sheet policy will remain accommodative for the next several quarters for several reasons: The Fed has more than doubled its balance sheet during the pandemic. Therefore it will have to reinvest a larger quantity of maturing Treasuries even while it is shrinking its balance sheet.

Outgoing Fed Vice Chair Quietly Covered Up Suspicious Trades Made During March 2020 Market Rout Several months have passed since FOMC members Boston Fed President Eric Rosengren and Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan abandoned their posts following a trading scandal that raised questions about senior Fed officials. Now, Richard Clarida, who is already on his way out the door at the Fed to make room for Biden appointee Lael Brainard, has become the latest senior Fed official to find his way into the ethics officials'' rifle sights. Because according to the NYT , Bloomberg and a handful of other reports, Clarida sold at least $1M of shares in a US-traded stock fund in February 2020 before buying a similar amount of the same fund a few days later, on the eve of a major Fed policy announcement that would trigger an 18-month-plus torrid rally in stocks, bonds and other securities. Notably, while Clarida''s purchase was previously disclosed and reported by Bloomberg News back in October, the initial sale of the fund shares wasn''t disclosed until last month, when an amended financial-disclosure form was finally filed with the government.
