SOUTH KOREA: FED Moves See KTB’s Unwind Rate Cut Expectations.
SOUTH KOREA
- Following what is being described as a ‘Hawkish Cut’, Korean yields have followed US yields higher in this morning’s trading.
- In the period since the Political Upheaval in Korea, yields have ground lower with some market observers suggesting an out of cycle rate cut could be possible.
- KTB 2YR’s had peaked at 2.97% just days before the attempt at Mashall Law by the Government, falling to 2.62% in the days subsequent.
- The move this morning has seen a retracement of approximately half of that move, up 6bps to 2.77%.
- The 5YR is up +7bps at 2.723% and the 10YR up +3bps to 2.789%.
