• Although RBA tightening expectations have pared back from the recent highs, the well-documented inflationary pressures and wider expectations for an uptick in CPI through year-end will likely underpin demand at today’s auction.
• Note that Australian breakeven metrics continue to operate around the upper end of their recently observed respective ranges, with 3-Year breakevens comfortably above the upper end of the RBA’s 2-3% target range at ~3.6%.
• Results due at 0200BST/1100AEST.
