AUSSIE BONDS: Very Heavy With Tsys As US Election Results Unfold

AUSSIE BONDS

ACGBs (YM -9.0 & XM -12.0) are sharply weaker in line with movements in cash US tsys as the US election unfolds. 

  • The NYT needle has pushed out of 'lean-Trump' into 'likely-Trump' for the first time this evening amid strong exit poll data for Trump among Latino voters in Michigan and a slight lead for Trump in critical Pennsylvania.
  • Nate Cohen at the Times notes: "[Trump] has an advantage in each of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. To win, Harris would need to sweep all three. There is still a lot of vote left, but in the voting so far, Trump is narrowly but discernibly ahead."
  • Cash US tsys are currently 11-19bps cheaper, with a steepening bias, in today’s Asia-Pac session.
  • Trump-related trades continue to gain ground. US equity futures are up ~1.0% for Eminis.
  • Cash ACGBs are 8-12bps cheaper with the AU-US 10-year yield differential at +23bps.
  • Swap rates are 8-12bps higher, with the 3s10s curve steeper.
  • The bills strip has sharply bear-steepened, with pricing flat to -12.
  • RBA-dated OIS has no easing is priced for this year, with June 2025 being the first meeting where a 25bp rate cut is fully anticipated.
  • Today, the local calendar was empty. Tomorrow will see Trade Balance and Foreign Reserves data.
