AUSSIE BONDS
AUSSIE BONDS: Aussie bonds have recovered from the start of the session, futures
saw a brief blip higher at the SFE open, during SYCOM they saw a steady ascent
alongside U.S treasuries when Pres. Trump formally announced tax cuts and Fed
George supported Fed Chair Yellen's and Rosengren's hints further towards a Dec
rate hike. 3-Year futures last up 1 tick at 97.810 and the 10-Year future up 1
tick at 97.140, this week the 3-Year contract has moved within a tight range of
just 6 ticks but the 10-Year has been more reactive on above triggers as well as
N. Korea drama earlier in the week, moving within a range of 10.5 ticks.
- Yields are down across the curve within a tight range, 3-/10-Year spread at
0.3bp.
- No reaction from Aus Private Sector Credit figures out today, no surprise as
they came out unchanged and the same as surveyed MoM and YoY at 0.5% and 5.5%
respectively.
- This morning sources noted the IB strip was seeing light interest in what
looks like 2-sided flows, 'IBG/J (Feb/Apr Spread) has traded 03's 300 times, Mkt
is 03/04, 150 a side.'
