OFZs Slide Following Higher Weekly CPI, But Stand Bull Steeper W/W

RUSSIA
  • OFZs kick off on the back foot this morning ahead of key meetings with Blinken & EU’s Borrell with ties severely impacted by tensions with Ukraine.
  • OFZ yields trade +4-7bp higher across the curve today, having closed mostly mixed yesterday following lacklustre auctions and a notably higher weekly CPI number.
  • This was driven primarily by the price of Turkish holidays (+55% w/w). Nevertheless, the entire print was broadly proinflationary with 73/93 categories registering increases or remaining flat.
  • This leaves the CBR likely to make another notable hike in December in the +75-100bp range.
  • W/w the OFZ curve has continued to bull steepen as markets trim rate hike expectations slightly with 1-7Y yields down -13-20bp on week.
