OFZs Slide, But Markets Eye Weekly CPI For Signs of Moderation

RUSSIA
  • Local & USD rates tread water around the open this morning, having remained on the backfoot in yesterday's session.
  • OFZ yields rose +8bp in the 5-10Y section of the curve as geopolitical concerns continued to weigh on Russian assets.
  • Nevertheless, markets will be keeping an eye on weekly CPI this week after a smaller increase to 0.09% last week prompted some buying activity on tentative expectations for a moderation in inflation into year end and 1Q22.
  • 10Y yields have retraced towards the 76.8% Fib of the recent downleg, with a move above 8.30 resistance opening up the prior highs.
