CHINA: Bond Futures Take a Breather after Yesterday’s Fall. 

CHINA
  • China bond futures are less volatile today after yesterday’s losses.
  • China’s 10YR future is down -0.05 to 108.55, whereas China’s 2YR future has regained ground up +0.008 to 102.672.
  • The 10YR future was down to a low of 108.30 dropping -0.40 yesterday, before staging a comeback late in the day to finish at 108.6, a fall of -0.18.
  • Today’s move sees the 10YR remain below the 50-day EMA of 108.62, with the 100-day EMA at 107.84.
  • Having had several sessions where yields moved higher, today sees a stronger day for the CGB 10yr bond, down -1.5bps in yield at 1.70%.
  • China’s 2YR future remains around the mid-point between the 100-day EMA of 102.74 and the 200-day EMA of 102.63.
  • Economic data out today suggests that the improving trend in house prices stalled in January, likely due to the Lunar New Year Holiday.
  • There are mixed fortunes for the key equity indices with the Hang Seng down -0.55%, whilst the CSI 300 is up +0.39%, Shanghai Comp +0.50% and Shenzhen Comp +1.17%.
