On the new issuance, Market is expecting 25bp premium to secondary market. What would be the expected auction yield/price of new treasury bond?
Lets say the face value of the bond is $1000 expected to be recieved on 25-08-2023
Issue price = Present value of lumpsum + Present value of interest payment
6 months market rate =( ((1/100) +1)^2) -1 = 2.01%
n = 2 * 3 = 6 (becuase marke rate is quaterly)
Present value of lumpsum = 1000/(1.0201)^6 = 887.45
Present value of interest payments
Interest every 6 months = 1.87% * 1000 = 18.7
PV of interest payment = 18.7 * (1 -(1 + 2.01%)^-6)/2.01%
= 104.71
Issue price = 887.45+104.71 = 992.16
Since premium of 25 basis point = 992.16 * 1.0025 = 994.6404
