United States 20-Year Bond Auction
The 20 Year Bond auction displays the government's 20 Year Bond. Treasury Bonds issued by the United States have maturities ranging from 10 to 30 years. Governments issue treasuries to borrow money to pay the difference between what they get in taxes and what they spend on debt refinancing and/or capital raising. The rate on a Treasury Bond indicates the rate of return an investor will get if he or she holds the bond for the term of the bond.
A higher than expected figure should be seen as negative (bearish) for the USD while a lower than expected figure should be seen as positive (bullish) for the USD.
