- The space moved to session highs after Fitch affirmed Australia at 'AAA';
outlook stable & the Wash. Post reported that US Special Counsel Mueller raised
the possibility of a presidential subpoena in a tense meeting with Trump's legal
team. An auction of the longest AOFM bond on offer passed smoothly. Tsys have
since eased, helping Aussie Bonds lower, with China's Caixin M'fing PMI
providing a modest beat.

little new.

after garnering support from a 1bp fall in the 3-Month BBSW fixing.
