Slightly Cheaper, US Tsys Pare Friday’s Gains In Asia-Pac Dealings

AUSSIE BONDS

ACGBs (YM -2.0 & XM -0.5) are slightly cheaper, near session lows, after dealing in narrow ranges in the Sydney session.

  • The local calendar has been empty today, apart from a speech by RBA Assistant Governor Jones at the AFR Cryptocurrency Summit. RBA Minutes for the October meeting are due tomorrow.
  • Hence, local participants have likely been on headlines and US tsys watch during today’s session after risk-off gripped the markets on Friday as investors fretted over an escalation of the Middle East conflict.
  • US tsys are dealing 2-5bps cheaper in the Asia-Pac session, with the curve steeper.
  • Cash ACGBs are flat to 1bp cheaper, with the AU-US 10-year yield differential 1bp higher at -19bps.
  • Swap rates are flat to 1bp lower, with the 3s10s curve flatter and EFPs slightly tighter.
  • The bills strip is weaker, with pricing flat to -2.
  • RBA-dated OIS pricing is little changed across meetings.
