AUSSIE BONDS: Narrow Ranges But Cheaper Ahead Of US CPI Data

AUSSIE BONDS
RegionGlobalBulletAPACFixed Income BulletsAustraliaMarkets

ACGBs (YM -5.0 & XM -3.0) are holding cheaper after dealing in narrow ranges in today’s Sydney session. 

  • Outside of the previously outlined Melbourne Institute Inflation Gauge, there hasn't been much by way of domestic drivers to flag.
  • Cash US tsys are flat to 2bps richer across benchmarks, with a steepening bias, in today’s Asia-Pac session after yesterday’s heavy session. The market’s focus is on today’s US CPI data. Core non-housing service CPI inflation is expected to ease modestly in September from the 0.33% in August, with seven analysts eyeing an average 0.27% M/M from a range of 0.20-0.34.
  • Weekly Jobless claims, a few more Fed speakers (Cook, Barkin, and Williams), and the re-opening of the 30Y Bond auction are also on tap.
  • Cash ACGBs are 3-4bps cheaper with the AU-US 10-year yield differential at +15bps.
  • Swap rates are 3-4bps higher.
  • The bills strip has bear-steepened, with pricing -1 to -5.
  • RBA-dated OIS pricing is 1-4bps firmer for 2025 meetings. A cumulative 7bps of easing is priced by year-end.
  • Tomorrow, the local calendar is empty apart from the AOFM’s planned sale of A$1.0bn of the 2.75% 21 November 2028 bond.
