TREE NEWS update: China’s Ministry of Finance issued 120 billion yuan of 3-year bonds at a yield of 1.2200%, with a marginal rate of 1.2400% against expectations of 1.2500% and a bid-to-cover ratio of 3.07 times. It also issued 80 billion yuan of 10-year bonds at 1.5600%, with a marginal rate of 1.5800% matching expectations of 1.5800% and a bid-to-cover ratio of 4.32 times.
China’s Finance Ministry Issues 3-Year and 10-Year Bonds Totaling 200 Billion Yuan
The takeaway is demand, not size: both tranches cleared below or at expected marginal rates, and the 10-year's bid-to-cover of 4.32 times signals strong appetite for duration at a time when sovereign yields elsewhere remain a reference point for global fixed income. For RWA and tokenized-treasury markets, Chinese government paper is not the benchmark, but pricing like this reinforces the broader low-yield backdrop that shapes demand for yield-bearing on-chain instruments. Whether this reception holds at subsequent auctions is the open question worth watching.
