Not sure, probably fewer auctions lately. I didn't track schedule, it's all here treasurydirect.gov Overall, liquidity fixes things in the manipulative overmarket land, so these moves can be explained. It's the old fix. The control has been in place for some time now. The only problem is that the very same programs that drive the SP500 higher regardless of fundamentals now also drive the dollar lower, since it is a ZIRP currency. They need to fix the computer programs, but the fix could cause a glitch in the system. I would argue that, aside from the conditions in this derivative overmarket, nothing else really matters these days. -g-

I wrote a missive on that here. It's all one market now, or the lack of it. The situation is completely hopeless in the longer run, and the Ponzi leaked and blew up last Fall. It's all held together by the Fed now. Liquidity is the known duct tape to patch such derivative meltdowns, but it will cause the monster to grow if not double, yet again, posing even more systemic risk down the road! Message 25787033 So, inflation/deflation debate focuses on the following: Will the Fed allow derivative blow up again, or will they print as much as needed (and derivative markets grew 10 fold since 2002, so a whole lot more is needed)? The answer is, for now ... print until the cows come home, and the food for these cows is crack up boom/hyperinflation. The alternative is complete systemic meltdown. But Ben's seat may be up for grabs soon, so things could change Needless to say, none of these measures fixed anything. The Ponzi scheme is very much alive. Monstrous liquidity injections should double or triple its size yet again.
