Trading margins of ASX-listed notes and bonds generally fell. One of the exceptions was Peet Bonds (ASX code: PPCHB, +33bps), a stock which is not particularly liquid, with a wide bid-offer spread and thus prone to this sort of volatility.
Crown Notes (ASX code: CWNHA) ceased trading on the ASX on 4 September and they will be redeemed on 14 September.
The current 3 month BBSW rate is around 1.93%. Add the trading margin from the above chart or from the tables to 1.93% for a 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.
