The participation of indirect bidders, which includes foreign central banks, falls to 55.2% from 64.7% in January. The bid-to-cover ratio slips to 2.36 from 2.86, indicating wobbling demand. Tomorrow, weekly jobless claims are expected to decline to 223,000 from 227,000, in a WSJ survey. December trade deficit is forecast to narrow to $55.5 billion from November's $56.8 billion.
