SA's 5Y CDS Retraces 50% of Weekly Gains, But Risks Remain

SOUTH AFRICA
  • SA's 5Y CDS rose +12.076bp from Monday-Wednesday midday as violence and looting erupted in KZN & Gauteng following pro-Zuma protest that rapidly spiralled out of control into acts of criminality and speculation regarding targeted attacks on govt infrastructure aimed at destabilising Ramaphosa's regime
  • Price action has retraced -5.55bp to settle just short of the 50% Fibonacci retracement level at 195.957, but remains elevated and within its uptrend as socio-economic/political and fiscal risks with more damaging longer-term implications emerge in the aftermath.
