Trading margins of ASX-listed notes and bonds tended to increase this week in a break with other sectors. The largest movements for the week were produced by Crown Notes 2 (ASX code: CWNHB, +79bps) after allegations of impropriety were made and an order was made to the Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation to examine them.
The current 3-month BBSW rate is around 1.00%. Add the trading margin from the above chart or from the tables to 1.00% 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.
