}The 10-Year TIPS auction on Jul 23, 2026 stopped at a high yield of 2.438%, with a bid-to-cover of 2.3 against a 2.4 twelve-month average. Indirects took 65.2%, directs 25% and primary dealers 9.9%. Captured live by Helious as the results crossed.
The 10-year TIPS real yield is the economy's true cost of capital: the discount rate that drives gold, growth-stock valuations, and the dollar. Its auction sets the benchmark 10-year breakeven, so results here recalibrate long-run inflation expectations and every real-rate-sensitive asset at once.

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with no when-issued market), and rows before desk coverage began in July 2026 are TreasuryDirect's own records, which do not publish a when-issued yield at all.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.
