AUSSIE BONDS

Aussie bond futures nudge away from their early Sydney base, although ranges remain tight, leaving YM -1.0 & XM -3.0, while wider cash ACGBs sit 1.5-2.5bp cheaper across the curve. EFPs are essentially unchanged on the day. Bills are now flat to 1bp cheaper through the reds. Ranges remain tight.
