Gold prices rise from 2-wk low with focus on Russia-Ukraine, Jackson Hole
LONDON - The United Kingdom (TADAWUL:4280) Debt Management Office (DMO) completed an auction of £4.75 billion ($6.32 billion) of 4⅜% Treasury Gilt 2030 on Thursday, with strong demand from investors.
The auction was oversubscribed by more than three times, attracting £14.81 billion in total bids, resulting in a coverage ratio of 3.12 times the amount offered.
Accepted bids ranged from a high price of £101.250, corresponding to a yield of 4.075%, to a low price of £101.225, with a yield of 4.080%. The non-competitive allotment price, representing the rounded average of accepted prices, was £101.235, yielding 4.078%.
Bids at the lowest accepted price were allotted 3.1125% of the amount requested, while competitive bids above this threshold were fulfilled in full. The auction’s "tail" - the difference between the yield at the lowest accepted price and the average accepted price - was 0.2 basis points.
Of the total amount, £4.04 billion was allocated to competitive bids, while non-competitive bids accounted for the remaining portion. Gilt-edged market makers received £712.5 million in non-competitive allocations, with other participants receiving £0.003 million.
An additional amount of up to £1.19 billion of the stock will be made available to successful bidders for purchase at the non-competitive allotment price, according to the terms outlined in the Information Memorandum.
