Twist Steepening

AUSSIE BONDS

Cash ACGBs run 1.0bp cheaper to 0.5bp richer across the curve, twist steepening, with 10s sitting 0.5bp cheaper after printing as much as 2.5bp richer earlier. YM is +0.5 while XM is -0.5. The 3-/10-Year EFP box is steepening, with 3-Year EFP flat and 10-Year EFP pushing wider, while Bills run +2 to -2 through the reds.
