HALISTER1: 7Y Valuation ‘Slightly Stretched’ Before Auction, Nomura Says

7Y Valuation ‘Slightly Stretched’ Before Auction, Nomura Says

(Bloomberg) -- $28b auction at 1pm ET also may get less benefit from month-end extension bid than previous sales because of “reduced gross supplies on the belly and long end,” and March jobs report risk, Nomura strategists say in unsigned note.
  • They expect “healthy takedown,” however, because “the 7yr also looks attractive versus the 5yr, and weak demand on 5yr usually led to a better auction on 7yr a day after in recent history”
  • Auction has additional support from Yellen’s “dovishness on the economic outlook and cautious stance on inflation”
