OFZs Remain Under Pressure as Markets Reflect Inflation Concerns

RUSSIA
  • Local & USD rates trade little changed around the open, having continued to sell-off sharply in the face of rising runaway inflationary pressures and a renewed tightening stance from the CBR on Friday.
  • OFZs were most offered, bear flattening on the day with 2-5Y yields rising +16-27bp with the 5Y most affected.
  • Russia's 10Y OFZ now trades above 8.00, with the next resistance points at 8.17 & 8.30, should price action hold onto gains above the level.
  • Since the start of September, yields have risen +105bp as inflationary pressures kicked up a gear.
  • Weekly and monthly CPI metrics will be watched closely for the degree of CBR tightening going forward.
