BONDS: NZGBS: Closed Cheaper, Subdued Session, Light Local Calendar

BONDS

NZGBs closed 1-4bps cheaper after a relatively subdued session. There has been no cash trading for US tsys in today's Asia-Pac session due to a holiday in Japan. TYZ4 currently deals at 114-20+, -0-06+ from Friday’s closing levels.  

  • Outside of the previously outlined Job Ads data, there hasn't been much by way of domestic drivers to flag. It is a reasonably quiet week for NZ, with Friday’s ANZ Consumer Confidence data as the highlight.
  • Across the ditch, the RBA Policy Decision is due tomorrow, with Bloomberg consensus unanimous in expecting a no-change outcome.
  • Swap rates closed flat to 4bps higher, with the 2s10s curve steeper.
  • RBNZ dated OIS pricing closed little changed. A cumulative 83bps of easing is priced by year-end.
  • On Thursday, the NZ Treasury plans to sell NZ$250mn of the 3.00% Apr-29 bond, NZ$225mn of the 4.50% May-35 bond and NZ$25mn of the 2.75% Apr-37 bond.
