... it was generally expected that today's quarterly refunding announcement would be another blowout with the Treasury expanding its issuance of longer-term debt in coming months, after depending mainly on shorter-dated bills to fund the record deficit.

Sure enough, it was all that and more.

Specifically, the Treasury announced that it would offer a record $112 billion of long-term Treasurys to refund approximately $49.5 billion of Treasury maturing on August 15, 2020.  This issuance will raise new cash of approximately $62.5 billion.  The securities are:

$48BN in 3-year notes maturing August 15, 2023, Exp. $48BN vs $42BN in May;

$38BN in 10-year notes maturing August 15, 2030; Exp. $35BN, vs $32BN in May;

$26BN in 30-year bonds maturing August 15, 2050, Exp. $25BN vs $22BN in May;

In addition, the Treasury also announced that it anticipates increasing the sizes of the 2-, 3-, and 5-year note auctions by $2 billion per month.  As a result, the size of the 2-, 3-, and 5-year note auctions will each increase by $6 billion by the end of October.  Treasury also anticipates increasing the size of the 7-year note auction by $3 billion per month over the next three months.  As a result, the size of the 7-year note auction will increase by $9 billion by the end of October.

Treasury is also announcing increases of $6 billion to both the new and reopened 10-year note auction sizes, and increases of $4 billion to both the new and reopened 30-year bond auction sizes starting in August.
