Once again the international demand was strong for the 30-year bond auction. The indirect bidders took 68.5% of the auction well above the 64.9% average. The bid to cover was higher then the average, and the auction tail of -1.5 basis points was also an indication of solid demand. The only disappointment was the domestic buyers were lighter than average as international buyers outbid them.
