How does inflation influence the yields of government bonds? Inflation reduces purchasing power over time. Due to this, investors seek higher returns to offset the anticipated decrease in purchasing power resulting from rapid price rises. In countries with high inflation, government bond yields often incorporate investor expectations and risk premiums, resulting in comparatively higher rates offered by these bonds. Why are government bond rates significant? Government bond rates are an important indicator of financial markets, serving as a benchmark for borrowing costs, interest rates, and investor sentiment. They affect the cost of government borrowing, influence the price of various financial instruments, and serve as a reflection of expectations regarding inflation and economic growth. For instance, in financial analysis and investing, people often use the 10-year U.S. government bond rates as a proxy for the longer-term risk-free rate.

This report analyses the current market yield on 10-year Treasury bonds. Treasury bonds are debt securities issued by the Australian government, which are considered to have no default risk. They pay interest semi-annually and return the face value of the bond at maturity. The yield is comparable to the interest rate on a newly issued 10-year bond, priced at face value. The yield on a bond can be calculated from the bond interest rate and the difference between the market price of the bond and the face value that is paid back at maturity. Data for this report is sourced from the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) and is presented as the average yield over each financial year.
