SAGBs Bear Steepen Post-Minutes, 10 & 30Y Snap Downtrend

SOUTH AFRICA
  • Local rates kick off on the backfoot this morning, following yesterday's perceivably hawkish FOMC minutes.
  • SAGBs trade bear steeper at the open, having erased the short-lived post-CPI gains in yesterday's session.
  • 2Y yields have returned above the 5.00 mark, while 10 & 30Y yields look set to break the downtrend established on 10 Aug.
  • 10Y eyeing 9.30 & 30Y should look to 9.70 on a close above 9.60.
  • SA's 5Y CDS trades +4.073bp since Monday, still within its 200-206 range.
