(RTTNews) - The Treasury Department finished off this week's series of announcements of the results of its long-term securities auctions on Thursday, revealing this month's auction of $25 billion worth of thirty-year bonds attracted below average demand.

Last month, the Treasury sold $22 billion worth of thirty-year bonds last month, drawing a high yield of 4.813 percent and a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.43.

The ten previous thirty-year bond auctions had an average bid-to-cover ratio of 2.42.

Earlier this week, the Treasury announced the results of this month's auctions of $58 billion worth of three-year notes and $42 billion worth of ten-year notes

The three-year note auction attracted modestly below average demand, while the ten-year note auction attracted slightly above average demand.
