Foreign OFZ Ownership Ticks up on Improving Fundamentals

RUSSIA
  • Local & USD bonds trade firmer around the open, having turned offered in yesterday's session broadly against the grain in EM.
  • 10Y OFZ yields moved +3bp back towards 7.00 resistance but fell short of closing above the level.
  • Foreign ownership of OFZs ticked up last week – aligning with the sell-side's constructive view on fundamentals with tentative signs of inflation peaking in recent weeks.
  • However, a close above 7.00 would be a bearish technical development for the 10Y OFZ, opening up 7.0844 to the topside, while failure to move higher would likely see price action return to 6.90-6.80.
  • Russia's 5Y CDS trades a fraction above the June 30 lows at 82.549, -3.513bp since Monday.
