Positive Momentum Holds In SAGBs Ahead of US CPI, FOMC Mins

SOUTH AFRICA
  • SAGBs kick the morning off on the front foot with duration catching an early bid ahead of US CPI & the FOMC minutes: 10Y -5.5bp, 15Y -6.2bp, 30Y -5.7bp.
  • This follows a broadly firmer session yesterday with the curve closing lower across the breadth with a slight bull steepening bias.
  • 2Y yields fell -5.3bp, while 15-30Y yields pulled -3.1-3.7bp lower on the day.
  • 10Y yields managed to hold below 9.90 resistance, while 30Y yields made a second rejection of 10.90.
  • Nevertheless, the broad uptrend still remains intact with SAGBs at risk of seeing some volatility today around the tapering announcement, given their high-beta nature.
