AU-NZ 10Y Yield Differential Is Too Low

BONDS

The AU-NZ 10-year yield differential closed 1bp higher today at -29bps, its highest level since October 2022.

  • However, a simple regression of the AU-NZ 10-year yield differential versus the AU-NZ 3-month swap rate 1-year forward (1y3m) differential over the current tightening cycle suggests the differential is 7bps too low versus fair value (i.e., -29bps versus -22bps).
  • The 1y3m differential is a proxy for the expected relative policy path over the next 12 months.
