Why it matters

Treasury-bill curve
Auction 1204 kept the bill curve upward sloping
Signal
Weighted-average yields ran from 2.1300% at 35 days to 6.7400% at 364 days.

Each point is an official auction observation; the curve by itself does not establish a policy shift.
What to watch
The latest Treasury-bond result is the next dated government-securities checkpoint.
