With the elevation in the yield curve, we saw an uptick in fixed interest investing.
A 5.15% offering for 6 months in the TD space continues to stand out as the highest outright rate.
NCD levels are varying between 4.79% and 5.01% for terms ranging from 3 to 6 months.
The Week Ahead
Towards the end of last week, markets priced in a more hawkish Federal Reserve as the U.S. economy remained stronger than expected.
To kick off the week, RBA Deputy Governor Hauser will be speaking at a CBA markets conference. Markets will closely watch for any hints on how recent labour market data might affect the monetary policy outlook.
It’s a very quiet domestic week, with the only significant print being Judo Bank’s PMI preliminary data.
Last month, this just ticked into the contractionary range at 49.6.
Overseas, it’s similarly quiet, with the most notable U.S. data being the release of September’s Durable Goods Orders on Friday.
