5-year SGS cutoff yield history
Latest auction in context
- Yield change: The 1.43% cutoff is 122 bp lower than the previous 5-year SGS auction (NX03100Z, 2.65% on 26 Sept 2008).
- Price vs par: The bond cleared at S$111.97 per S$100 face value — a premium, because the 3.63% fixed coupon is above the 1.43% market yield. Buyers pay more upfront for the higher coupon stream.
- Issue history: This issue has been reopened 3 times since the original auction on 28 Jun 2004. 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 (3.63% 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.
