what happened

Reuters has published tables with non-competitive bid results for two short-dated U.S. Treasury bill auctions. Both issues are dated October 27, 2026: the 4-week bill matures November 24, 2026, and the 8-week bill matures December 22, 2026.

For the 4-week bill, the offering totals $110 billion. Non-competitive bids accepted came to $5,512,493,500, tentative tendered reached $7,512,493,500, and the approximate competitive amount remaining is $102,487,506,500. Bids from the Federal Reserve's System Open Market Account (SOMA) totaled $7,924,557,100.

For the 8-week bill, the offering is $105 billion. Non-competitive bids accepted were $1,268,426,900, tentative tendered was $3,268,426,900, and the approximate competitive amount remaining is $101,731,573,100. SOMA tendered $7,564,350,000.

why it matters

Non-competitive bids are typically placed by smaller investors and institutions that accept the average auction rate, so the figures reflect demand for guaranteed short-term Treasury paper. SOMA tenders reflect the Fed rolling over its Treasury holdings. Data like this usually moves money-market rates only indirectly.
