If you tape readers notice the drop in volume as if the

markets are waiting for something, you're right. The first leg of the Quarterly Treasury Refunding is today:

(quick rundown from Yahoo news this morning>

<8:38am ET - Treasury: the smaller $57 bln quarterly refunding begins today with an unchanged $24 bln of 3-year notes. The short end of the refunding is likely to catch most of the foreign demand. Smaller sizes should help the longer issues. Wednesday's $16 bln 5-year is $2 bln smaller than at the Aug refunding, $8 bln smaller than the Feb peak and the smallest since Feb '02. Thursday's $17 bln 10-year is $1 bln smaller than at the prior refunding and the smallest since the May '02 refunding. Only $24.7 bln ($44 bln in Aug refunding) is maturing on the mid-quarter settlement date which will obviously limit roll over and leaves larger net supply for the market to digest>
