  • 2-3Y yields fell -11bp each with the 2Y slipping below 8.50 support as markets anticipate a softer CBR stance and an easing in inflation pressures.
  • Next key support is at 8.35. followed by 8.00 & 7.56. Meanwhile the 5Y CDS showed little interest in Putin’s “military-technical” approach to NATO as the comment had been made by Ryabkov over the weekend.
