Bear Steepening Momentum Resumes in SAGBs, Risk Premia Rise Slightly

SOUTH AFRICA
  • SAGBs remain under pressure in today's session with weakness still concentrated in duration.
  • The 10-30Y section of the curve stands +3.2-7.1bp higher on the day with little by way of idiosyncratic drivers, but more focused on broader risks to US/Chinese CPI and the FOMC minutes.
  • 10Y yields looking most vulnerable (+7.1bp), having breached last week's high at 9.90 with 10.00 resistance the next notable level.
  • 30Y yields have been a bit more resilient since Thursday's low, and are still pegged below last week's high (11.10) and 11.00 resistance.
  • SA's 5Y CDS trades +3.57bp higher today, broadly in line with higher risk premia across the space while equities enjoy some upside (Top40 +1.40%)
