The US Treasury’s auction today sold $32 billion in 3-year notes at a yield of 0.347%, just barely above the record low yield of 0.344% of September 2011. The Treasury is set to sell $24 billion in 10-year notes tomorrow and $16 billion in 30-year bonds on Thursday.

Foreign central banks bought 27.7% of the notes on offer today, down from a four-week average of 38.5% and direct bidders, such as US money managers, bought 8.5% of the notes on offer, compared with a four-week average of 10%.
