Bill Auction

Success! Short-term bond auction sees prices drop

IRELAND’S short-term treasury bill auction this morning seems to have gone rather well. Demand for the six-month treasury bills was ten times more than supply, and saw the bonds sold off with an average yield of 1.978% – compared to a 2.458% yield at the last similar auction just two weeks ago. Eight-month bills were four times oversubscribed with an average yield of 2.35%, down from 2.81%. That that, S&P!
