Stellar 3Y Auction: 2nd Most Foreign Buyers On Record, Highest Stop Through Since Feb 2025

Stellar 3Y Auction: 2nd Most Foreign Buyers On Record, Highest Stop Through Since Feb 2025

Published by Jenni Sidey

After several weeks of decidedly ugly auction which saw a notable drop in foreign demand amid what we reported a week ago was rampant selling of US debt by foreign central banks, moments ago the Treasury sold 3Y notes in what may have been the best auction since the start of the war. Just after 1pm, the US treasury sold $58BN in 3Y notes at a high yield of 3.897%, up sharply from 3.579% a month ago and the highest since last June’s 3.972%. More importantly, the auction stopped through the When Issued 3.909% by 1.2bps, the biggest stop through since Feb 2025 and the 7th stop through in the past 8 auctions. The bid to cover bounced nicely from last month’s 2.546 to 2.682, the highest since November.  The internals were even stronger: indirects, or foreign central banks, came back in droves after aggressively selling US paper in recent week, and were allotted 74.8% of the auction – the highest since Sept 2024, and the second highest on record. And with Directs awarded just …

Newborn magnetar offers rare evidence of Einstein’s relativity in a stellar explosion

The light did not fade the way it was supposed to. After blazing into view about a billion light-years from Earth, the supernova known as SN 2024afav settled into something stranger. Its brightness rose, peaked, and then began to dip in a series of rhythmic bumps. Each pulse came a little faster than the one before it, like a chirp tightening in pitch. That unusual pattern has now given astronomers what they say is their clearest evidence yet that some of the universe’s brightest stellar explosions are powered by newborn magnetars, dense neutron stars with extreme magnetic fields and rapid spin rates. The results, published in Nature, also point to a role for Einstein’s general theory of relativity in shaping the light from a supernova for the first time. “The idea that magnetars are involved has seemed to have a magical aspect for theoretical astronomers,” stated Dan Kasen, a UC Berkeley physicist. “However, with this evidence, we can now conclude with certainty that there is, indeed, a relevant and substantial magnetar component. The supernova’s light …

Every year, it gets earlier and earlier, and while there are some compelling arguments for “best of” lists to hit in anticipation of holiday shopping, I don’t know too many folks doing their present shopping that early (and I say this as someone who does do their shopping early!). The earlier these “best of” lists hit, the more opportunity there is to miss out on the array of great books which hit shelves later in the year. How many November and December releases get overshadowed in the race …
