The Treasury Department announced the results of this month's auction of $40 billion worth of two-year notes on Tuesday, revealing the auction attracted modestly below average demand.
The two-year note auction drew a high yield of 1.825 percent and a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.50.
The Treasury also sold $40 billion worth of two-year notes last month, drawing a high yield of 1.695 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 two-year note auctions had an average bid-to-cover ratio of 2.56.
The Treasury is due to announce the results of its auctions of $41 billion worth of five-year notes and $32 billion worth of seven-year notes on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.
