AUSSIE BONDS: Slightly Richer Ahead Of US PPI Data
AUSSIE BONDS
ACGBs (YM +1.0 & XM +1.5) are slightly stronger on a data-light session.
- Outside of the previously outlined Westpac consumer confidence, there hasn't been much by way of domestic drivers to flag.
- Cash US tsys are ~1bp richer in today’s Asia-Pac session after yesterday’s modest sell-off. US PPI data will be released later today, ahead of CPI data tomorrow.
- Cash ACGBs are 1-2bps richer with the AU-US 10-year yield differential at -15bps.
- Swap rates are 1-2bps lower.
- The bills strip is little changed.
- RBA-dated OIS pricing is little changed across meetings today. A 25bp rate cut is fully priced for April (102%), with the probability of a February cut at 68% (based on an effective cash rate of 4.34%).
- Tomorrow, the local calendar is empty.
- AOFM Bond issuance will resume this week, with A$800mn of the 3.50% 21 December 2034 bond to be sold tomorrow and A$700mn of the 2.75% 21 November 2027 bond to be sold on Friday.
