AUSSIE BONDS: Apr-29 Supply Goes Smoothly, But Less Demand Present

Jun-24 01:18

Today’s auction demonstrated solid pricing for ACGBs, with the weighted average yield coming in 0.64bps below the prevailing mid-yields, according to Yieldbroker. However, the cover ratio was lower at 3.4667x versus 4.1250x at the previous outing.

  • Today’s results should be deemed solid given the potential negative influences on the bid. As outlined in our preview, today’s bid was confronted by a more hawkish than expected RBA at last Tuesday’s meeting and the fact that the line sits in a less preferred area of the curve.
  • Post-auction, the ACGB Apr-29 cash trade, YM and XM have shown little change.
