US Treasury Auction Internals
Every US Treasury auction since 2018, with its demand internals kept intact - bid-to-cover, high (stop-out) yield, coupon, the indirect / direct / primary-dealer take-down split, the tail/allocation percentage, and the size accepted - organized as a long panel of tenor × metric × auction date. No daily-mean collapse: this is the auction-by-auction read on who is actually buying government debt and how aggressively, tidied from the Treasury's paginated auctions_query into one clean Parquet.

Built only from a named, redistributable official source under a documented open licence - not scraped web data. No copyright grey zone, no personal data. Ships machine-readable Croissant metadata (ML Commons - loads in Hugging Face / Kaggle / Google), an AI training-licence manifest documenting source, licence and provenance for your model's data governance, and a machine-readable data dictionary (drop it into an agent / RAG prompt so the model knows every column) - all inspectable before you buy.
What's included
- Per-auction demand internals (NO daily mean), every Treasury auction 2018-present
- zone = tenor + type (e.g. '10-Year Note', '4-Week Bill', '30-Year Bond')
- metric = bid_to_cover / high_yield / coupon_rate / indirect_pct / direct_pct / primary_dealer_pct / tail_alloc_pct / total_accepted_bn
- Bidder buckets converted to percent of total accepted; high yield/coupon in percent
- Long format - pivot to one row per auction, or track a single tenor's take-down over time
