The 10 yr note auction results are in.....until new trends develop one should assume the MBS stack will be more susceptible to selling as spreads tighten. Currently the short end of the stack is wider...5.5s through 6.5s are tighter.

Here is the auction press release: LINK

Bid-to-cover: 2.21

Anytime demand is better than 2.00 (2:1 auction demand) one can consider the auction a success. In this case the unknown political variables may have lessened demand a bit.I would describe the results as....not great..not horrible.

High Yield: 2.818% vs. 2.67% at last UST10YR auction

Overseas bidders took almost 38% vs. 13% at the last UST10YR auction
