Treasury Yields Jump After Weak Two-Year Note Auction -- WSJ

Dow Jones03-25

By Sam Goldfarb

Treasury yields have jumped after a $69 billion auction of 2-year notes met with very weak demand from investors.

Treasury yields, which rise when bond prices fall, have climbed sharply in recent weeks, with investors worried that higher energy prices spurred by the Iran war will lift inflation and make it harder for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates.

Short-term Treasurys like the 2-year note are especially vulnerable to shifts in near-term interest-rate expectations, and have come under particular pressure in recent days.

The 2-year notes were sold Tuesday at a 3.936% yield, well above what traders were expecting. Primary dealers, financial institutions who are required to bid at auctions, were forced to take down 24.1% of the sale, according to BMO Capital Markets. That was above the 10.7% average from the previous six 2-year note auctions.
