Richer After Core CPI Prints Lower Than Expected

AUSSIE BONDS

ACGBs move as much as 2-5bp higher (YM +15.0 & XM +12.5) after trimmed mean CPI prints a lower than expected +1.2% Q/Q and +6.6% Y/Y in Q1 versus expectations of +1.4% and +6.7%. Headline inflation printed a slightly higher than expected 7.0% Y/Y (6.9% estimate), but was down from +7.8% in Q4. Services annual inflation however recorded its largest increase since 2001 driven by higher prices for holiday travel, medical services, rents and restaurants.

  • Cash ACGBs are 2-3bp richer after the data with the 3/10 curve 2bp steeper.
  • The AU/US 10-year yield differential is -3bp at -9bp.
  • Swap rates are similarly 2-3bp lower to be 11-13bp lower on the day.
  • Bills shunt 3-5 richer after the data with the strip flatter and pricing +7 to +14.
  • RBA-dated OIS builds on the morning softening to be 1-2bp softer after the data. The cumulative tightening by August has been reduced to 10bp from 12bp ahead of the data and 22bp ahead of the ANZAC day holiday.
