The cut-off yield for the latest 6-month Singapore T-bill on 13 February declined to 2.90%.
What happened?
I was disappointed to see the result for the latest 6-month Singapore T-bill auction.
The cut off yield for the 6-month Singapore T-bill (BS25103S) auction on 13 February was at 2.90%.
This would represent a decline in the T-bill yield compared to the cut-off yield of 3.04% in the previous 6-month T-bill auction on 28 January.
