The price was $97.4874, is there an easy way to calculate?
https://finance.icalculator.info/treasury-bills.html

ETA: In Excel I use this formula in cell B
=SUM(100-B4)/(A4*7)*365/B4*100
Cell A input the number of weeks

Looks like Powell is trying to get me 5% for next week's rollover.  :)
2 year notes now over 5%.
Will we see 6% on short term bills this year?

Thank you. I had it in my head that it was biweekly but I guess I had it wrong.
Still getting the hang of it, thanks for keeping it handy :)

T-bills are weekly except the 52 week which is monthly.
4 and 8 week on Thursday. 13 and 26 week on Monday. Holidays will mess it up by one day.
FYI: Fidelity's cutoff is 9am the day of the auction.

What happened?
The perceived banking crisis.

Shouldn't that drive more people to bonds and raise rates?

Didn't I mention last week that this week's auction might be the first in a while to come in below previous week?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Driving more people to bonds = higher demand = higher prices = lower yields.

Also, with a financial crisis the Fed may not need to raise rates etc.

Isn't the thinking they need to lower rates?

That was before the crisis unfolded or was that based on this crisis?
