Trading margins of ASX-listed notes and bonds moved a little higher on average this week. The largest movements came from securities with 2018 maturities with the exception of Tatts Bonds (ASX code: TTSHA, -40bps) and Peet Notes (ASX code: PPCHB, -32bps).
The current 3 month BBSW rate is around 1.98%. Add the trading margin from the above chart or from the tables to 1.98% 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.
