2-year SGS cutoff yield history
Latest auction in context
- Yield change: The 3.06% cutoff is 10 bp lower than the previous 2-year SGS auction (N200100H, 3.16% on 13 Jul 2000).
- Price vs par: The bond cleared at S$100.10 per S$100 face value — a premium, because the 3.00% fixed coupon is above the 3.06% market yield. Buyers pay more upfront for the higher coupon stream.
- Issue history: This issue has been reopened 1 time since the original auction on 24 Oct 1995. Reopenings add to the same line — same coupon, same maturity — but reprice at each auction's cutoff yield.

About SGS Bonds
SGS Bonds pay the fixed coupon (3.00% 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.
