Those Big, Beautiful Bonds
Authored by Robert Aro via the Mises Institute,
The U.S. Government sells debt on a revolving door basis, yet most people aren't aware of the mechanism by which this is done. Luckily, ZeroHedge covers the debt auction results, which allows us to articulate one of the structural problems in the Federal Reserve system. As reported last week:
The week's lone coupon auction priced at 1pm when the Treasury sold $13 BN in 20Y paper, in a solid if not stellar auction.
Deciphering the trader talk in the article, the Treasury took on an additional $13 billion in debt that is repayable in 20 years, paying an annual interest rate of 4.883% (approximately $635 million a year).
A 2.68 bid-to-cover ratio means that for every $1 of debt issued, there were $2.68 in bids, suggesting a healthy market appetite. Only so many entities can lend billions of dollars at a time; here are the three who took the auction:

Die Europäische Zentralbank hält den Leitzins trotz der infolge des Iran-Krieges gestiegenen Inflationsgefahr konstant. Der EZB-Rat beliess den Einlagensatz am Donnerstag bei 2,0 Prozent. Über ihn steuert die Zentralbank massgeblich ihre Geldpolitik. Zuletzt ist die Teuerungsrate im Euroraum auf 3,0 Prozent nach oben geschnellt.. --- An den Finanzmärkten wird über eine Zinserhöhung im Juni spekuliert. Dafür spricht aus Sicht vieler Händler, dass Mitte des Jahres voraussichtlich mehr Klarheit über die gesamtwirtschaftlichen Folgen des Ölpreisschocks herrschen wird.
