AUSTRALIAN three-year bond futures prices are slightly lower ahead of the release of key monthly employment figures.
RBC Capital Markets fixed interest strategist Su-Lin Ong said it had been a quiet night of trading ahead of the jobs data's release.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics will release labour force figures for April at 1130 AEST on Thursday.
Ms Ong said traders were also waiting for Chinese inflation figures, which are due out at the same time.
"Really, we're just marking time ahead of the labour force data and the Chinese figures," she said.
At 0830 AEST on Thursday, the June 10-year bond futures contract was trading at 96.870 (implying a yield of 3.130 per cent), the same level as on Wednesday afternoon.
The June three-year bond futures contract was at 97.480 (2.520 per cent), down from 97.500 (2.500 per cent).
