BONDS

In local morning trade, NZGBs are unchanged after the US tsy 2/10 curve finished Friday at its most inverted level since December at -48bps. The curve twist-flattened, with yields 1bp higher (2-year) to 1bp lower (20-year). The intraday rise in yields was unwound after a downward revision for U.Mich inflation expectations. The 10-year yield met firm resistance at 4.50%, last seen May 14, closing at 4.465%.

  • RBNZ dated OIS pricing is unchanged. A cumulative 19bps of easing is priced by year-end.
