  • SA: Local rates pause for breath after a strong week of bull flattening, trading +1.1-2.8bp higher across the curve. 10Y pulls away from key support above 9.00.
  • TURKEY: Local rates end the day in the marginally green, while their USD equivalents post a more convincing bull steepener. 2-3Y tenors -10.8-12.3bp, while the rest of the curve holds -5.4-6.7bp lower.
