AUSSIE BONDS: ACGB Jun-54 Auction Goes Smoothly

Jul-15 01:25

Today’s auction result extended the recent trend of firm pricing for ACGBs, with the weighted average yield printing 0.24bps through prevailing mids, according to Yieldbroker. Moreover, demand improved, as reflected by a cover ratio of 3.2133x, up 2.8433x from the previous auction.

  • The bond’s outright yield was 5-10bps higher from the previous auction, though it remains around 10bps below the peak reached in May.
  • The 10s/30s yield curve was near its steepest level since late 2021 — a potentially supportive technical factor.
  • Sentiment toward longer-dated global bonds remains cautious, which may have tempered demand.
  • In the wake of the auction, the ACGB Jun-54 has traded slightly cheaper in the secondary market.
