Treasury Announces Reopenings, Strategists Say Will be "Huge" Help

The U.S. Treasury announced a series of snap Treasury reopenings in the off-the-run issues in an apparent effort to improve liquidity.

The Treasury will hold two of the auctions on Wednesday. The first is for $10 of a note expiring in 6-years and 7-months and will take place at 11:30 a.m. EDT. The second is for an additional $10 billion on a 6-year 10-month note at 1 p.m. EDT.

This will be a huge help to the specials in repo and dislocations in off-the-runs," said David Ader, U.S. government bond strategist at RBS Greenwich Capital. "Trying to issue news securities with those specials made dealer setups problematic and would have made for very weak receptions."

The third auction will sell $10 billion in a 9-year 4-month reopening at 11:30 a.m. EDT on Thursday.
