20-year SGS cutoff yield history
Latest auction in context
- Yield change: The 2.80% cutoff is 94 bp higher than the prior reopening of this issue (1.86% on 27 Aug 2021).
- Price vs par: The bond cleared at S$99.28 per S$100 face value — a discount, because the 2.75% fixed coupon is below the 2.80% market yield. The lower price compensates for the smaller coupon.
- Issue history: This issue has been reopened 4 times since the original auction on 28 Mar 2012. 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 (2.75% 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.
