(RTTNews) - Continuing this week's series of announcements of the results of its long-term securities auctions, the Treasury Department on Wednesday revealed this month's auction of $39 billion worth of ten-year notes attracted above average demand.

The ten-year note auction drew a high yield of 4.235 percent and a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.70.

The Treasury sold $42 billion worth of ten-year notes last month, drawing a high yield of 4.347 percent and a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.58.

The bid-to-cover ratio is a measure of demand that indicates the amount of bids for each dollar worth of securities being sold.

The ten previous ten-year note auctions had an average bid-to-cover ratio of 2.52.

On Tuesday, the Treasury revealed this month's auction of $58 billion worth of three-year notes attracted average demand.
