4 year SGD deposit at 3% !!! Paying up for SGD cash when even the UOB SGD perpetual bond callable in 11/2019 is yielding 3.62% !
4 year govt bond 1.54%
4 year interest rates 2%
What do you think ? Senior or Perpetual ?
I am guessing you can leverage alot more off this senior paper too, if you want.
And as for the USD, I believe a >4% coupon would be the highest we have seen for a 10Y senior note this year (but I could be wrong). Still, it would be a good 1% over the Singtel USD 10Y last night.
Aren’t we lucky ?
