Record 3-year issuance emphasizes need for an efficient hedging tool
With 3-year exposure expected to rise considerably in the quarters ahead, enhanced 3-Year Note futures have been met with strong client interest.
June’s 3-year note auction was the largest ever ($44B) and saw solid demand (2.55 bid-to-cover was the third highest in the last 12 months).
