The ten-year note auction drew a high yield of 4.255 percent and a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.35.
Last month, the Treasury sold $39 billion worth of ten-year notes, drawing a high yield of 4.362 percent and a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.61.

On Tuesday, the Treasury revealed this month's auction of $58 billion worth of three-year notes attracted slightly below average demand.
