Fed's $50 Billion TSLF Operation Draws Bid-to-Cover Ratio of 0.68
14:37 04/10 (CEP News) – Today's loan of $50 billion in various treasuries at the Fed's Term Securities Lending Facility drew a total of $33.95 billion in bids.

The bid-to-cover ratio was 0.68, which means only 68 cents were bid for every dollar auctioned. This is much lower than the previous bid-to-cover ratio of 1.88.

The stop-out rate was 0.25%.

The TSLF loan is for a period of 28-days.
