Historical direct data for 4-Week Treasury auctions, updated after each auction. The most recent value is 1.3% as of April 16, 2026. The direct bidder share measures the percentage of the auction awarded to domestic institutional investors bidding directly with the Treasury, bypassing primary dealers.
Bidder allocation data shows the percentage of 4-Week Treasury securities awarded to each class of buyer: direct bidders (domestic institutions buying for their own account), indirect bidders (typically foreign central banks and large fund managers), and primary dealers who absorb the remainder. Shifts in allocation can signal changing demand dynamics — rising indirect participation often reflects foreign appetite for U.S. duration, while elevated dealer takedown may indicate tepid end-investor demand.
