AUSSIE BONDS: Slightly Mixed, Cash US Tsys Heavy, Q3 WPI Tomorrow
AUSSIE BONDS
ACGBs (YM flat & XM +2.0) are slightly mixed after dealing in narrow ranges in today’s Sydney session.
- Outside of the previously outlined consumer and business confidence, there hasn't been much by way of domestic drivers to flag.
- Cash US tsys are flat to 4bps cheaper in the Asia-Pac session today with a flattening bias. US tsys reopened today after being closed for the Veterans Day holiday yesterday.
- Cash ACGBs are flat to 2bps richer after trading 1-2bps cheaper early. The AU-US 10-year yield differential is at +24bps.
- Swap rates are 2bps lower to 1bp higher, with a flatter 3s10s curve.
- The bills strip is slightly cheaper, with pricing flat to -2.
- RBA-dated OIS pricing is little changed across meetings. There is no easing priced by year-end. A 25bps rate cut is not fully priced until August.
- Tomorrow, the local calendar will see the Q3 Wage Price Index, ahead of the Employment Report for October on Thursday.
- This week, AOFM plans to sell A$800mn of the 2.50% 21 May 2030 bond tomorrow and A$700mn of the 4.75% 21 April 2027 bond on Friday.
- Today’s sale of A$150mn of the Nov-32 inflation-linked bond showed a cover ratio of 3.77x.
