October proved to be another active month for the TD market and again a very poor month for TD investors as all banks bar one, slashed offerings across all tenors in reaction to the RBA’s subsequent rate cut, which saw the cash rate lowered by 25 basis points to 0.75%. In the short term (ST) market, BOQ (-0.05%) continued to [...]
September proved to be a busy month for the TD market and a very poor month for TD investors, with all banks slashing offerings across all tenors in anticipation of the RBA’s subsequent rate cut, which saw the cash rate lowered by 25 basis points to 0.75%. BOQ (-0.35%) and BEN (-0.30%) led the way, aggressively cutting their short-term (ST) [...]
August saw forecasts for the RBA cash rate slashed further, in response, lenders have consolidated in cutting their Term Deposit (TD) offerings.

Meanwhile, Australian treasuries broke new [...]
Markets continue to suffer as trade negotiations persist, placing Australian firms in a very uncertain environment. The ASX 200 gained a modest 0.3% in May, aggressively retracing gains made earlier in the month and with the first trading day of June being the worst for the year to date. This followed soft credit growth in April (+0.16%), with tighter lending [...]
Markets rallied further, continuing the theme of 2019 with the ASX200 up 2% over the month and a tightening of 9bps and 1bp occurred in the Australian iTraxx and Sovereign curves respectively. On the domestic front, there was mainly negative news for savers as first quarter inflation printed exactly flat at 0.0%, significantly increasing the implied probability of two RBA [...]
