In my weekend article, I anticipated a further drop in T-Bills yields due to high demand and market expectations on interest rate cuts.
My target yield range was 3.60 – 3.75%.
The final auction results are out at 3.64% cut off yield.
While this is within my projected range, it is definitely lower than the previous auction (3.70%) – and continues a downtrend for the past 4 T-Bills auctions.
Let’s take a closer look at auction data.
