The Treasury Department announced the results of this month's auction of $58 billion worth of five-year notes on Wednesday, revealing the sale attracted average demand.

The five-year note auction drew a high yield of 3.801 percent and a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.50.

The Treasury sold $55 billion worth of five-year notes last month, drawing a high yield of 4.420 percent and a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.46.
