Slightly Cheaper, US Tsys Pare Pre-Weekend Gains

AUSSIE BONDS

ACGBs more than reverse the gains seen ahead of the weekend to be sitting slightly weaker (YM -2.0 & XM -1.5) after US tsys cheapen 4bp in early Asia-Pac trade. With little meaningful macro news flow crossing thus far, local participants appear content to trade with US tsys ahead of tomorrow’s RBA policy decision.

  • On the local data front, Judo Bank Mfg PMI (final) printed slightly lower at 48.0 versus 48.1 prior, while the MI Inflation Gauge printed 6.1% Y/Y in April from 5.7% in March.
  • Cash ACGBs are flat to 1bp cheaper with the AU/US 10-year yield differential +3bp at -11bp.
  • Swap rates are 2bp higher with EFPs slightly wider.
  • Bills strip pricing is -2 to +1 with mid-reds the strongest.
  • RBA dated OIS is flat to 4bp firmer across meetings with a 12% chance of a 25bp hike priced for tomorrow’s meeting.
