OFZ Curve Steepens W/W, 10Y Retains Downside Bias

RUSSIA
  • Local & USD rates trade little changed to marginally firmer around the open as more favourable risk sentiment filters through from the APAC session.
  • Local OFZ bonds ended Friday's session slightly firmer with the curve bull flattening -2bp in 10-15Y yields.
  • W/w, however, the curve ended steeper with the 2-5Y section of the curve -3-5bp lower, while the 15-30 Y section lifted +4-5bp on week.
  • 10Y Price action remains biased to the downside with 7.00 resistance looking sticky in the near-term – 6.80 (38.2% Fib) is the next key level to the downside on a breakout through the August lows.
  • RUB weakness saw 3x6 FRA-Mosprime spreads widen +10bp to +40bp at the end of last week, despite tentative signs of moderation in price pressures.
