Aust bonds prices move higher Australian bond futures prices are higher after disappointing US economic data saw Treasury yields fall. Local bond futures rose overnight on Thursday as share markets in the US weakened and Treasury yields fell on news of a rise in jobless claims in April. RBC Capital Markets fixed interest strategist Su-lin Ong said the local session had been quiet following the overnight move. "There's not a lot happening at the moment," she said. Bonds have traded in a very narrow range today. Ms Ong said the main local driver for bonds next week would be the release of the minutes from the Reserve Bank of Australia's May board meeting on Tuesday. The RBA cut the cash rate to a record low 2.75 per cent at the meeting. The recent fall in the Australian dollar, which has dropped around six US cents in the past two weeks, would also have an impact on the market, because it could reduce the chance of further rate cuts," she said. At 1630 AEST on Friday, the June 10-year bond futures contract was trading at 96.835 (implying a yield of 3.165 per cent), up from 96.760 (3.240 per cent) on Thursday. The June three-year bond futures contract was at 97.490 (2.510 per cent), up from 97.440 (2.560 per cent).
