AUSSIE BONDS
AUSSIE BONDS: Little in the way of notable impact in the space on the back of
the latest RBA MonPol decision. The Bank left its cash rate unchanged at 1.5%,
with little, if any notable
tweaks to the language employed in the statement, as the Bank tipped its hat to
the potential for slower growth (as it retained its central scenario),
reiterating its faith in the tightening labour market.
- The latest round of GDP partials have done little to alleviate worry heading
into tomorrow's GDP print and supported the space in early trade.
- Bond futures deal around session highs, YM last trades 3.0 ticks higher, with
XM 3.5 ticks better off on the day. YM/XM deals at 48.0, while the cash
equivalent trades at 48.9bp.
- Commerzbank has mandated banks for potential 5-Year A$ issuance.
- Bills trade 3 ticks lower to 2 ticks higher through the reds (IRH9
underperforms ahead of expiry later this week). A$1.58bn worth of 10-Day RBA
repo ops were dealt at an average of 1.795%.
- Focus tomorrow turns to an address from RBA Governor Lowe & Aussie GDP data.
