MNI Analysis: The Most Important Chart For The RBA?

RBA

We suggested the following chart was the most important chart for RBA policy (at least in the immediate term) a couple of weeks ago. Since then we have seen the RBA tweak borrowing conditions surrounding the ACGBs purchased under its 3-Year yield targeting scheme (effectively making it much more expensive to short the bonds covered by the scheme, resulting in the unwind of the increased usage of the RBA's Securities Lending Facility), continued dovish utterances from RBA Governor Lowe and the calming of core global FI markets (at least when compared to the volatility that was seen just a few short weeks ago).
