KOREA RATES
KOREA RATES: Korean 10-year bond futures remain 7 ticks lower on the day despite
having recovered most of their losses even as Korean stocks trade near daily
highs, up 1.7% on the day. 
- Equities and bond yields have been showed a strong negative correlation in
recent weeks, with the BOK's rate hike on Friday doing little to alter this
trend as the yield curve continues to flatten. 
- However, upside yield pressure seems to be emerging, with the 2-year adding
1.5bps today to trade at 1.9130% and the 10-year gaining 0.7bps to post a
potential bottoming pattern off the 2.0% level. 
- A stabilisation in oil prices poses significant upside risks to the rate
curve, particularly the long end.
