SAGB Yields Open Higher Going Into the Weekend as Oil Prices Tick Higher

SOUTH AFRICA
  • SAGBs open on the backfoot this morning with 10-30Y yields up +8.7-9.3bp.
  • This caps off a choppy week of trading as the Ukraine crisis develops – causing significant swings in risk sentiment and oil prices.
  • W/w the SAGB curve stands -4-8bp lower across the breadth, with the 10Y most bid.
  • 30Y yields retraced to the 76.4% fib of the 17 Feb – 08 March range, stalling just short of 10.40, while the 10Y has turned back above 10.00 after failing to clear the 61.8% fib.
  • Focus shifts to next week’s SARB where markets are pricing just over a +25bp hike with 1x4 FRA-Jiba3m spreads at +32.2bp.
