Detailed Analysis
Two market reports of the reopening cite a 5.469% highest accepted yield for the 20‑year bond. The available excerpts do not provide other auction metrics (amount allocated by bidder type, bid‑to‑cover), so analysis is limited to the documented high yield and its likely implications for long‑end rates.
