- Cash ACGBs are 2-5bps with the AU-US 10-year yield differential at -16bps.
- Swap rates are 2-4bps higher, with the curve 3s10s steeper.
- The bills strip has bear-steepened, with pricing -1 to -4.

- RBA-dated OIS pricing is flat to 3bps firmer across meetings. 1bp of easing is priced by year-end from an expected terminal rate of 4.39%.
- Tomorrow, the local calendar sees Private Sector Credit alongside the AOFM’s planned sale of A$700mn of the 2.75% Nov-29 bond.
