3Y and 4 Week Auction Results

Daily Chartbook, Wrap Up – 8.3.2011
Another wild ride today: the bond rollercoaster continues- yields managed to stage a slight reversal higher after this afternoon’s recovery in the equity market. The lower moves over the past few days have been phenomenal – if you’re on the right side of them. This chart depicts the change in yields for the past few months.
