AUSSIE BONDS
AUSSIE BONDS: A subdued session for futures, with a stronger than exp. domestic

51.50 as the cash 3-/10-Year yield differential deals at 48.0bp. AU/U.S. 10-Year
yield spread last -41.6bp. Dovish comments from Fed Vice-Chair Clarida & threats
from U.S. President Trump re: the use of emergency powers to fund a border wall
underpin, outweighing optimism surrounding a top tier U.S.-China trade summit. 
- Lack of any fresh long end issuance in the AOFM's latest weekly issuance
schedule noted after the MYEFO saw the AOFM note that "at the time of the
2018-19 Budget, the AOFM planned to establish new bond lines maturing in
September 2023 and December 2030. These lines are no longer planned to be
issued. A syndication of an existing ultra-long bond line may still be
considered."
- Bills last trade unchanged to 1 tick lower in the whites and reds. RBA Reverse
repo ops saw A$780mn worth of 12-Day ops dealt at 2.029% & A$1.355bn worth of
