AUSSIE BONDS: Spike lower in Aussie bond yields after the triple whammy of
weaker Aussie CPI, Private Sector Credit and China Manufacturing PMI compresses
AU/US 10-Year spread to 9.8bp - the lowest level in 17 years.
- Swap spreads pushing wider on the rally, with 3-Year trading at 0.75 post
data. Aussie 1y1y IRS marked lower, last at 2.25, with the spread to USD
touching a fresh low of -30bps. May RBA (1.53) now pricing a 12% chance of a
hike, down from 25% earlier this morning.
- Narrowing yield differential also heaping extra pressure on Aussie dollar,
AUD/USD last down 26 pips at 0.8055. The AU/US 2-Year spread briefly dropped in
