AUSSIE BONDS
ACGBs (YM +4.0 & XM +4.0) are richer and at or near Sydney session highs.
- Private capital expenditure rose 1.1% q/q in Q3 to be up 1.0% y/y, close to consensus expectations, after falling 2.2% q/q and -0.1% y/y in Q2. The increase was driven by non-mining investment. It signals that private GFCF should post a positive quarterly result on December 4’s Q3 national accounts. Inventory, net exports and government spending inputs are released on December 2 and 3.
- Cash US tsys are closed today ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday, with no data out until next week.
- Cash ACGBs are 4-5bps richer.
- Swap rates are 4bps lower.
- The bills strip has twist-flattened, with pricing -1 to +6.
- RBA-dated OIS pricing is flat to 5bps richer across meetings. A 25bps rate cut is not fully priced until May.
