OFZs Slide W/W, Diverging from SA & Turkey Despite Falling Risk Premia

RUSSIA
  • Local & USD rates slipped into the red yesterday, with OFZ yields leading the way higher on the day – diverging from peers SA & Turkey.
  • The local curve bear flattened +5bp in 2-7Y yields following Wednesday's marginally higher weekly CPI reading and remained elevated as Fed Speakers spooked markets with talk of a September announcement on tapering – setting the stage for a more interesting Jackson Hole than was previously anticipated.
  • W/w the OFZ curve gave up early gains and goes not the weekend higher across the breadth with weakness concentrated in the 7-15Y section of the curve (+9-11bp).
  • After an impressive move lower this week (-4.84bp) Russia's 5Y CDS stalled out in yesterday's session marginally above YTD lows at 81.196.
