Russian Stocks Mount Impressive Comeback, CDS Continues to Rise

RUSSIA
  • Local & USD rates remain Unch so far this morning, having maintained their bearish momentum in yesterday’s session as Putin received approval to use Russia’s troops on foreign soil and the West imposed its first round of sanctions.
  • OFZ yields rose +27-69bp with 5 & 15Y tenors most offered, while USD bond yields soared +38.4-100bp with the 5Y feeling the brunt of it.
  • 10Y OFZ Yields are teetering on 11.00, having risen +149bp since the start of Feb. The 5Y CDS also resumed its move higher as markets become more concerned about direct clashes with Ukrainian troops in areas beyond the current LPR/DPR territories.
  • Russian stocks also made a notable turnaround from -10% to +6% as sanctions proved less aggressive at this stage.
