  • SOUTH KOREA: Futures in South Korea are lower for the first time in four days, falling out of favour as equity markets rise even in the face record COVID-19 numbers. South Korea reported record daily COVID-19 cases for the second day, there were 1,842 new cases with authorities noting mass infections from a virus-hit Naval unit, while it seems increasingly likely officials will extend the toughest virus restrictions in the wider Seoul area.

The 7-day repo rate retreats from opening highs of 2.25%, 5bps above the PBOC's rate. Futures are lower after a four day rally, even as equity market struggle to make upward progress. Elsewhere recent premiums for local bonds over central government issues continue to shrink, while banks in Hong Kong suspended new mortgages for Evergrande's unfinished projects.
  • INDONESIA: Yields mixed, the wings higher while the belly is lower. Markets await the BI's interest rate announcement later in the session. Policymakers are expected to hold their benchmark policy rate unchanged by virtually all analysts.
