The 2-Year Floating Rate Note auction on Aug 26, 2026 put $28B on offer and stopped at a high yield of an unpublished yield, with a bid-to-cover of 3.14 against a 3.26 twelve-month average. Indirects took 66.6%, directs 0.4% and primary dealers 33.1%. Helious graded it IN LINE. Captured live by Helious as the results crossed.

The 2-year FRN pays the 13-week bill rate plus a fixed discount margin, so its auction prices pure credit-free floating exposure with zero duration. The stop-out margin is a clean gauge of front-end cash demand from money funds and banks. A widening margin flags bill oversupply or funding stress before it shows up elsewhere.

The baseline a new result reads against: above-average cover, indirects and directs = solid investor demand; an above-average dealer take means the street absorbed the balance. Bidder shares are % of competitive accepted: indirects + directs + dealers sum to 100.

Issue: a reopening re-auctions an existing security (same CUSIP), the norm for coupons outside refunding months; "New" sets a fresh coupon. Offered: the announced offering amount, what the Treasury put up for sale at that auction. Tail: the high yield minus the when-issued yield at the bid deadline, in basis points. Positive means the auction had to concede yield to clear, negative means it stopped through. A dash means no tail exists or none was captured: bills never have one (they price off a discount rate, with no when-issued market), and rows before desk coverage began in July 2026 predate tail capture — the official records publish no when-issued yield at all. Desk recap: the desk's live verdict, posted the moment results cross.
