Aussie 3y bond futures traded sideways for a second session Friday as markets

awaited further technical queues. Having hit all time highs at 99.410 last week,

corrective pullbacks are still the theme, with markets eyeing near-term support

at 99.257. A more prolonged pause in the uptrend looks the most likely outcome

from here, with decent resistance layered above at the 3% upper Bollinger Band.

For the outlook to weaken, markets need to clear Fib support at 99.257, ahead of

the 50-dma at 99.155.
