SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- The Treasury Department sold $29 billion in 7-year notes Thursday at a yield of 1.496%, the lowest on record for an auction of the notes. Bidders offered to buy 3.02 times the amount of debt sold, compared to an average of 2.80 times at the last four sales. Indirect bidders, a group that includes foreign central banks, bought 41.6%, versus 46.8% in recent sales.
