US Treasuries 20y WI (May45) roll estimate We estimate a 20y WI roll of about -1.1bp on a whole-bondbasis at announcement, assuming a P-switch ofabout -2.75bp. We expect most of the liquidity premium tocome from the issue trading special in term. Investor demandat the auctions has moderated over the past six months.

The bond will be auctioned on May 21 andsettle on June 2. Per the Q2 refunding announcement, the Treasury kept the new issue auctionsizes for the 20y at $16bn, and it expects to leave them unchanged for the next several quarters.We expect the Fed to add about $2.2bn at the auction, compared with $1.6bn at the Februaryauction. Figure 1 summarizes our WI roll estimate for the 20y in whole-bond terms. We expect the May45WI to trade about -2.75bp to currents on P-switch (Figure 2). On a whole-bond basis, thistranslates into the WI trading at about -1.1bp at announcement and -1.3bp at settlement,assuming a coupon of 4.875%. A couponshifthigher of 0.125% would flatten the rate curveabout 0.1bp, while it would equally steepen if the couponshifts0.125% lower. The WI's coupon will be higher (4.875%) than currents (4.75%), and we expect the issue to tradespecial in term, which points to a higher liquidity premium. If the WI opens up more (less)special in term repo than market expectations, this could bias the quoted roll lower (higher). Auction statistics Figure 3 summarizes 20y auction statistics over the past 12 months. While the ones over thepast six months underperformed those in the previous six months, the last two auctionsstopped below expectations, as indirect bidders stepped up. Overall, however, investor demandhas moderated over the past six months, with domestic and foreign investors taking 68% and11% of the allocations, respectively, compared with 72% and 14% over the prior six months.
