Summary: Trading margins display no particular trend; margin of NABPE largest mover over week.
Trading margins of ASX-listed notes and bonds displayed no particular trend this week as some went up while others moved down. Ignoring short-dated securities, the margin of NAB Subordinated Notes (code: NABPE, +48bps) had the largest (absolute) change over the week, reversing almost all of the previous week’s fall.
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.
