RBA Tweaks ACGB Apr '23 & Apr '24 Borrowing Costs

AUSSIE BONDS

Re: the previously flagged swing in ACGB Apr '24, the RBA has noted that it "is currently accepting requests to borrow the Apr '23 and Apr '24 bonds via its own facility only. The indicative fee to borrow these bonds is currently 25 bps, subject to change." Back in March the RBA lifted the cost of borrowing of these lines to 100bp, as it looked to limit short selling that was testing the implementation of its 3-Year yield targeting mechanism.

  • This tweak explains the previously flagged move back from intraday richest levels.
