AUSSIE BONDS

YM unchanged & XM +0.5 at typing, with the latter edging away from overnight lows in early Sydney trade, at least partially aided by fresh post-MYEFO issuance guidance from the AOFM, in which it knocked its ACGB issuance target for the current fiscal year down to A$230bn vs. around A$240bn previously (A$153.5 billion has been completed YtD).
