5-year SGS cutoff yield history
Latest auction in context
- Yield change: The 5.18% cutoff is 8 bp higher than the previous 5-year SGS auction (N591100F, 5.10% on 19 Mar 1991).
- Price vs par: The bond cleared at S$99.76 per S$100 face value — a discount, because the 5.13% fixed coupon is below the 5.18% market yield. The lower price compensates for the smaller coupon.

About SGS Bonds
SGS Bonds pay the fixed coupon (5.13% 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.
