AUSSIE BONDS: Dec-30 Supply Goes Well With Strong Demand
AUSSIE BONDS
The latest ACGB Dec-30 supply beat expectations, with a weighted average yield of 1.19bps through prevailing mids, according to Yieldbroker.
- The cover ratio was a solid 4.6357x, reflecting strong demand.
- As noted in the MNI Auction Preview, the line was last sold on February 14, 2024, making direct comparisons less relevant. However, today’s cover ratio compares favourably to last week’s Nov-32 auction, which saw a cover of 3.4786x.
- Despite being excluded from both the YM and XM baskets—placing it in a less favoured segment of the yield curve—this did not seem to impact demand.
- Post-auction, YM/XM futures and the Dec-30 line remain little changed.
