While the two-year note auction attracted modestly above average demand, the five-year note auction attracted modestly below average demand.

The two-year note auction drew a high yield of 4.315 percent and a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.66.

Last month, the Treasury also sold $69 billion worth of two-year notes, drawing a high yield of 4.189 percent and a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.64.

The five-year note auction drew a high yield of 4.408 percent and a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.28.
