The 10-year is the world's benchmark risk-free rate. It prices mortgages, corporate debt, and equity discount rates, so its auctions are macro events in their own right. Tails and indirect take here are read as referendums on foreign demand for US duration and on term-premium repricing around fiscal supply.

Issue: a reopening re-auctions an existing security (same CUSIP), the norm for coupons outside refunding months; "New" sets a fresh coupon. Tail: the high yield minus the when-issued yield at the bid deadline, in basis points. Positive means the auction had to concede yield to clear, negative means it stopped through. A dash means no tail exists or none was captured: bills never have one (they price off a discount rate, with no when-issued market), and rows before desk coverage began in July 2026 are TreasuryDirect's own records, which do not publish a when-issued yield at all. Desk recap: the desk's live verdict, posted the moment results cross.
