the cabinet & his party room.

at 52.2bp, continuing the theme from last week.

10-Year subordinated transaction, while VW Financial has mandated banks for a

3.5 Year A$ denominated deal.

- The Bill strip last trades a unch. to 1 tick higher, following Bonds, while

3-Month BBSW fixed 0.5bp higher at 1.955% today.

- Traders will look to the release of the RBA's Aug meeting mins, due Tuesday,

with plenty of additional RBA-speak dotted throughout the week (Gov. Lowe, Asst.

Gov. Debelle & Boulton). AU Econ releases include AU Q2 completed construction.
