The market has seen some more buying in immediate reaction to a $22 bln 30-yr bond reopening, which met strong demand. The sale drew a high yield of 4.825%, which stopped through the when-issued yield by 0.8 basis points, while the bid-to-cover ratio (2.42x) exceeded the prior 12-auction average (2.37x).
