AUSSIE BONDS
AUSSIE BONDS: Nothing in the way of major news flow noted with Aussie bond
futures trading just off best levels after U.S. index futures and the majority
of the major Asia-Pacific stock indices pulled back from best levels in early
dealing, although they have now started to tick higher again in the main,
limiting AU bonds from further gains.
- Modest long end outperformance sees the cash 3-/10-Year yield curve holding
sub 60bp.
- A couple of notable bouts of Bill flow early in the session. Whites and reds
unchanged to 2 ticks higher at writing. 3-Month BBSW set 0.32bp higher today at
1.9432%. Looking at the RBA repo ops, there was a huge A$4.257bn (largest this
year) worth dealt today across 25, 55 & 113 day maturities. 55-Day ops weighted
avg. rates stood at 1.998%. Large size potentially acting as liquidity padding
over the year end period to anchor short rates.
- Immediate focus on the AOFM's weekly issuance schedule, due tomorrow. Next
week will see speeches from RBA Gov. Lowe & RBA's Kent and the release of Q3
CapEx data.
