AUSSIE BONDS

In futures roll-impacted trading, ACGBs are richer (YM +4.6 & XM +5.5) after trading in a narrow range in the Sydney session. With the local calendar light today, local participants are likely on headlines watch and monitoring US tsys after they strengthened overnight on a strong lift in US initial jobless claims.
