AU-CA 10-Year Yield Differential At Fair Value

AUSSIE BONDS

The AU-CA official rate differential narrowed to -15bps on July 24 when the BoC delivered the widely expected 25bp cut to 4.50%.

  • Looking 12 months ahead using 3-month swap rates 1-year forward (1Y3M), the market expects the RBA’s official rate to be around 75bps higher than the BoC’s.
  • A simple regression of the AU-CA cash 10-year yield differential, which at +88bps is currently around its highest level since last December, against the AU-CA 1Y3M spread over the past 24 months suggests that the 10-year yield differential is around fair value.
