Trading margins of ASX-listed notes and bonds changed very little on average for a second consecutive week, again with four falls and four rises. The largest change came from Peet Bonds (ASX code: PPCHB,-63bps), which is not a surprise really when one notices the size of its bid-offer spread.
AGL Notes (ASX code: AGLHA) ceased trading on the ASX on 29 May 2019 and the notes will be redeemed on 11 June 2019. Noteholders who were on the register at 7.00 pm on 31 May 2019 will be paid the notes’ $100 face value plus a final interest payment of $1.4732.
The current 3-month BBSW rate is around 1.38%. Add the trading margin from the above chart or from the tables to 1.38% 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.
