Diminishing demand for longer dated NZ Govt bonds with weighted average accepted yield falling to 2.67% (previously 2.83%)

The results from the latest inflation indexed bond offer by the Treasury's Debt Management Office have been released.

The coverage ratio was marginally down on the July tender and again a majority of bids were unsuccessful.

The current yield on the NZ Govt bond with the longest duration and which is quoted on the NZDX (i.e. matures in 2023) is approximately 4.28%.

The difference between the yield on the NZ Govt bond maturing in 2023 and the average weighted inflation index yield in today's tender is approximately 1.60% which co-incidently is where NZ CPI is currently running.
