AUSSIE BONDS
AUSSIE BONDS: Aussie bonds have proved resilient on RBA Minutes announcements,
both only moving within a 3 tick range, coming up 3 ticks prior to the release
and down 2 ticks post results. The 3-Year contract was last at 97.880 and the
10-Year was last at 97.200.
- ANZ gave three key points to take from the RBA minutes release, firstly that
the RBA believe spending on the public sector infrastructure projects supports a
brighter outlook, secondly that the RBA is more comfortable with the recent
gains in AUD, previously they expressed the stronger AUD could dampen the
country's growth outlook and lastly ANZ highlighted the RBA's thoughts on policy
changes by other central banks, welcoming the increases in interest rates in
other economies but adding they don't have 'mechanical implications' for policy
setting in Aus, they said the timing of changes in rates domestically will be
dependent on changes in domestic conditions... Thursday see's Aus Labour Data so
we'll look to that as a 'domestic condition,' last months figures were strong.
- Yields are up across the curve, the 3-Year up 2.2bp and the 10-Year up 1.8bp.
