BONDS
BulletMarketsFixed Income Bullets

  • Outside of the previously outlined building approvals and filled jobs data, there hasn't been much by way of domestic drivers to flag.
  • Swap rates closed 7-8bps higher, with the 2s10s curve flatter.
  • RBNZ dated OIS pricing closed 2-7bps firmer across meetings, with October leading. 49bps of easing is priced for February, with a cumulative 126bps by November 2025.
