Last month, the Treasury also sold $69 billion worth of two-year notes, drawing a high yield of 4.274 percent and a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.77.

The Treasury is due to announce the results of this month's auctions of $70 billion worth of five-year notes and $44 billion worth of seven-year notes on Tuesday and Thursday, respectively.
