23 August – 27 August 2021

Summary: Trading margins again display no particular trend; margin of QUBHA largest mover over week.

Trading margins of ASX-listed notes and bonds again did not display any particular trend this week, with roughly equal numbers of rises and falls. Ignoring short-dated securities, the margin of Qube Subordinated Notes (code: QUBHA, -22bps) had the largest (absolute) change over the week.

The current 3-month BBSW rate is just one basis point above zero. Add the trading margin from the above chart or from the tables to this figure for an estimate of the gross return per annum in the absence of BBSW rate changes. The gross return may contain imputation credits. BBSW typically is around 15bps (average since 1990) more than the RBA rate.
