AUSSIE BONDS: The space is operating just off of session highs, with little in

terms of fresh catalysts to trade off of. 3-Year bond futures last trade at

97.890 (unch) while 10-Year futures last trade at 97.300 (+2.5 ticks). The

domestic 3-/10-Year yield differential last sits around 1.3bp tighter at 66.1bp,

while the AU/US 10-Year yield differential is off of session wides, but is still

-3.8bp wider at 13.9bp.

- The RBA's steady hand is keeping a lid on rate expectations in Australia, with

little sign of the potential for any change in tone from the central bank in the

immediate future.
