AUSSIE BONDS

ACGBs (YM +8.0 & XM +6.0) spike higher news that Israeli missiles have hit sites in Iran (ABC).

  • Markets had moved ahead of the confirmation on reports regarding the closing of Iranian airspace. It appears flights had been diverted away from Iranian Airspace. There seemed to be little flight activity over central Iran where the explosions occurred near the City of Isfahan.

  • The bills strip has bull-steepened, with pricing +2 to +8.
