Summary: Trading margins generally increase; margin of PPCHB largest mover over week.
Trading margins of ASX-listed notes and bonds generally increased this week. Ignoring short-dated securities, the margin of Peet Bonds (code: PPCHB, -248bps) had the largest (absolute) change over the week. It appears a buyer paid up late in the week for this thinly traded security which is less than one year away from its maturity date.
The current 3-month BBSW rate is just two basis points 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.
