A Little Steeper, RBA Matters Headline This Week

AUSSIE BONDS

Sydney trade was relatively narrow, leaving YM +0.5 & XM -1.0 at typing, with the curve holding steeper vs. settlement throughout Sydney trade, perhaps aided by the presence of the RBA purchasing ACGBs maturing in '25 to '28. On the semi front, SAFA is considering tapping its 2.75% May '30 select line bond.

  • There was nothing in the way of notable market reaction observed in the wake of the latest round of local m'fing PMI, ANZ job ads & CoreLogic house price data (as you would expect), although the broader headline measures presented by those metrics continue to present an encouraging domestic story.
  • In terms of this week's domestic docket, focus will fall on the RBA decision (Tuesday) and release of the SoMP (Friday), which will be supplemented by an address from RBA Deputy Governor Debelle (Thursday) covering the topic of "Monetary Policy during Covid."
