5-year SGS cutoff yield history
Latest auction in context
- Yield change: The 5.09% cutoff is 37 bp lower than the previous 5-year SGS auction (N587100H, 5.46% on 08 May 1987).
- Price vs par: The bond cleared at S$99.61 per S$100 face value — a discount, because the 5.00% fixed coupon is below the 5.09% market yield. The lower price compensates for the smaller coupon.

About SGS Bonds
SGS Bonds pay the fixed coupon (5.00% in this issue's case) semi-annually on face value until maturity. The cutoff yield is what the auction priced at — it reflects the market's required return and changes at each reopening. Holding to maturity returns face value; selling earlier in the secondary market exposes you to price fluctuation as rates move.
