      Central bank asset purchases
      and auction cycles revisited:
      new evidence from the euro area

      No 2927

      Disclaimer: This paper should not be reported as representing the views of the European Central Bank
      (ECB).

    • Abstract
      This study provides new evidence on the relationship between unconventional monetary
      policy and auction cycles in the euro area.
    • The findings indicate that Eurosystem?s asset purchase flows mitigate
      yield cycles during auction periods and counteract the amplification impact of market volatility.
    • The dampening effect of central bank asset purchases on auction cycles is more sizeable and
      precisely estimated for purchases of securities with medium-term maturities and in jurisdictions
      with relatively lower credit ratings.
    • On the other hand, central banks may influence price dynamics in these markets, most notably
      through their asset purchase programmes.
    • If so, do central bank asset purchases
      affect bond yield movements around auction dates?
    • Auction cycles are present when secondary market yields rise in
      anticipation of a debt auction and fall thereafter, generating an inverted V-shaped pattern around auction
      dates.

      Introduction

      The impact of central bank asset purchases on government bond markets is a focal point of economic and
      financial research.

    • If so,
      do central bank asset purchases shape yield sensitivity around auction dates?
    • The paper provides new evidence on the effects of Eurosystem?s asset purchases on secondary market
      yields around public debt auction dates.
    • The analysis builds on previous research based on aggregate data
      on central bank asset purchases and a shorter analysis period (van Spronsen and Beetsma 2022).
    • Using
      granular data on Eurosystem?s asset purchases offers an opportunity to shed light on the mechanisms linking
      unconventional monetary policy and auction cycles.
    • Given this legal constraint, the study
      hypothesises that the effect of asset purchases on 10-year auction cycles is mostly indirect, and goes via price
      spillovers generated by purchases of securities outside the 10-year maturity space.
    • Taken together, these results provide new evidence about auction cycles in Europe and contribute to a
      larger literature on the flow effects of central bank asset purchases on bond markets.
    • Section 4 offers descriptive evidence about auction cycles in the euro area.
    • Auction cycles are defined by the presence of an inverted V-shaped pattern in secondary market yields
      around primary auctions.
    • That is, government bond yields rise in the run-up to the date of the auction and
      fall back to their original level after the auction.
    • Their limited risk-bearing capacities and inventory management operations are
      seen as key mechanisms driving auction cycles (Beetsma et al.
    • ECB Working Paper Series No 2927

      7

      Second, central bank asset purchases can alleviate the cycle by (partly) absorbing the additional supply
      of substitutable instruments in the secondary market (van Spronsen and Beetsma 2022).

    • This expectation is
      supported by several analyses on the price effects of central bank bond purchases (D?Amico and King 2013;
      Arrata and Nguyen 2017; De Santis and Holm-Hadulla 2020).
    • Empirically, previous research has provided evidence of auction cycles taking place across different jurisdictions.
    • (2016) detect auction cycles for government debt in Italy, but not in Germany, during the European
      sovereign debt crisis.
    • Research on the impact of central bank asset purchases on yield cycles around auctions is still limited.
    • Their paper provides evidence
      that Eurosystem?s asset purchases reduce the presence of auction cycles for euro area government debt.
    • Nonetheless, several questions remain open about auction cycles and unconventional monetary policy
      in the euro area.
    • Therefore, they
      provide only a partial picture of auction cycles and central bank asset purchases in Europe.
    • The use of granular data on central bank asset purchases is especially important in light of the modalities
      of monetary policy implementation of the Eurosystem.
    • Altogether, these elements motivate further investigation of the relationship between central bank asset
      purchases and auction cycles in the euro area.
    • Taken together, these results confirm that Eurosystem?s asset purchases mitigate yield cycles during auction periods and counteract the amplification impact of market volatility.
    • The findings confirm that the flow
      effects of central bank purchases on yield movements around auction dates are driven by lower-rated countries.
    • Additional analyses provide evidence for an indirect effect of purchases on auction cycles and highlight
      the presence of substantial heterogeneity across jurisdictions and purchase programmes.
