AUSSIE BONDS: ACGB Dec-34 Supply Absorbed But Less Demand
AUSSIE BONDS
Expectations of sustained strong pricing at auctions proved accurate, with the latest round of ACGB Dec-34 supply seeing the weighted average yield print 0.49bp through prevailing mids (per Yieldbroker).
- However, as flagged in our auction preview, a lower outright yield and flatter curve did appear dampen the overall strength of bidding today, with the cover ratio decreasing to 2.8375x from 3.2125x previously.
- The deterioration in sentiment towards global bonds over recent months also likely weighed.
- The ACGB Dec-34 cash line and the XM futures contract are slightly richer in post-auction dealings.
