Richer But Off Best Levels, US PPI Due Later Today

AUSSIE BONDS

ACGBs (YM +5.0 & XM +3.0) remain richer but are off Sydney session highs.

  • With the domestic calendar empty, the local market has drifted lower in line with the ~2bp cheapening in cash US tsys in today’s Asia-Pac session. In the absence of news flow, this weakening most likely reflects some profit-taking after yesterday’s solid rally.
  • The market’s focus is today’s June PPI and UofM Sentiment and the start of the latest equity earnings cycle: Wells Fargo, Bank of NY Mellon, JP Morgan and Citigroup headlining.
  • Cash ACGBs are 3-5bps richer, with the AU-US 10-year yield differential at +11bps.
  • Today’s ACGB Nov-29 supply was priced comfortably through mids. However, the cover ratio declined to 3.100x from 3.2286x prior.
  • Swap rates are 3-5bps lower.
  • The bills strip has bull-flattened, with pricing +2 to +6.
  • RBA-dated OIS pricing is 3-7bps softer for meetings beyond August. Terminal rate expectations decline 3bps to 4.42%.
