2-year SGS cutoff yield history
Latest auction in context
- Yield change: The 3.04% cutoff is 52 bp lower than the previous 2-year SGS auction (N520100A, 3.56% on 29 Aug 2023).
- Price vs par: The bond cleared at S$98.31 per S$100 face value — a discount, because the 2.13% fixed coupon is below the 3.04% market yield. The lower price compensates for the smaller coupon.
- Issue history: This issue has been reopened 4 times since the original auction on 27 May 2016. 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 (2.13% 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.
