AU/US 10-year Yield Differential Too Negative
AUSSIE BONDS
Cash Tsys have opened cheaper in Asia-Pac trade with the 10-year yield 7bp higher, leaving the AU/US 10-year yield differential +1bp at -15bp.
- While there can be many variables at play in a cross-market differential, a simple regression of the AU/US 10-year yield differential versus the AU-US 12-month forward OIS differential over the current tightening cycle suggests that the 10-year differential is currently around 25bp too negative (i.e. -15bp Vs. fair value +10bp).
- As highlighted in Figure 1, this richness in the 10-year yield differential is driven by the dramatic realignment in 12-month forward OIS in the U.S. versus Australia on the back of recent global banking concerns.
