Bonds yield the ghost

Yields down again

More records.

Markets are now fully pricing two further interest rate cuts by H2 2020.

And the 10-year government bond yield is now down to just 1.198 per cent (even the 15-year bond yield is at just 1.33 per cent). 


3-month bills are also at record lows.


Banks are jostling for market share, with fixed mortgage rates now available from just 2.79 per cent. 

That's a freakishly low rate with conditions attached, but looking at these charts there'll likely be many more mortgages available with a low 3-handle in the second half of the year.
