For the third time in a row, the RBA is buying bonds under the 3-year yield target policy at the same time as it is purchasing AGS under the QE program. 

The RBA will buy A$1.5 billion of April 2024 AGS, slightly down from A$2.0 billion when it last bought on Thursday. The RBA is also buying A$2.0 billion of November 2024 to May 2028 AGS.
