AUSSIE BONDS
AUSSIE BONDS: Aussie Bonds have operated in a tight range during the SFE
session, with 3-Year Bond futures trading at 97.780 (-2.5 ticks), while 10-Year
Bond futures trade at 97.195 (-5.0 ticks), following Tsys lower. The domestic
3-/10-Year yield spread operates at 60.4bp (+2.5bp) while the AU/US 10-Year
spread is 1.6bp tighter at -20.1bp. 3-Month BBSW fixed 2.5bp lower at 1.955%
today, with the white & red Bill contracts last trading 2 ticks higher to a tick
lower, as the fix supported the front end of the strip.
- Focus has fallen on the AOFM's planned issuance schedule, released in lieu of
the Federal budget. The AOFM's gross Treasury Bond issuance in 2018-19 is
expected to be around A$70bln, with the AOFM noting that weekly Treasury Bond
tenders of around A$1bln each week (in addition to tenders held in conjunction
with buyback tenders) will be held for the remainder of 2017-18 and are planned
for 2018-19. The AOFM also plans to establish new bond lines maturing in
September 2023, May 2030, December 2030 and May 2041. The total issuance level
is lower than 2017-18, although this partly reflects the Snowy Hydro purchase.
- Corp. supply: Goldman still to price & EIB exp. to tap A$ swappable paper.
