AUSSIE BONDS

ACGBs sit sharply lower (YM -21.0 & XM -12.5), after the RBA surprises the market with a 25bp rate hike. Moreover, in the final paragraph of the decision statement, the RBA noted that “Some further tightening of monetary policy may be required to ensure that inflation returns to target in a reasonable timeframe…”.
