TREE NEWS update: Hebei province issued 24.568 billion yuan ($3.4 billion) of 10-year special-purpose local government bonds at a coupon of 1.73%, with a bid-to-cover marginal multiple of 9.67x against an expected 1.71x. It also sold 4.0 billion yuan of 30-year special-purpose bonds at 2.23%, with a marginal multiple of 7.26x versus an expected 2.23x.
Hebei Issues 10-Year and 30-Year Local Government Special Bonds
The standout here is the demand skew: the 10-year tranche's marginal bid-to-cover came in far above expectations, while the 30-year cleared essentially in line — a sign that buyers are crowding the shorter end of the provincial curve rather than reaching for duration. That matters for anyone watching local-government issuance as a proxy for where domestic capital is willing to sit. Whether this shorter-maturity preference persists across other provincial deals is the open question.
