Well, the interesting times continued this week, with US markets strong to the end of October, on strong results, despite some wobbles from big tech, and despite more weak economic news. And here, the lack of moves by the RBA on Friday implies that its Yield Curve Control – at least on the short end – is now over. Worth noting, they owns 64% of the April 2024 bond. In fact, the RBA might drop or amend its yield target for the as early as Tuesday’s meeting – but I suspect they will wait.
