SAGBs Closed for Elections, Curve Flattens W/W

SOUTH AFRICA
  • Local rates unchanged this morning due to the market closure as a result of the local general elections.
  • Friday's session closed with the curve broadly flatter at both ends: 2-5Y yields rose +6-9.3bp, while 15-30Y yields fell -5.3-7.5bp.
  • W/w this trend continued with 2-10Y yields ending +14.55-30bp higher with the 10Y most offered, while 15-30Y yields closed -7-9bp lower.
  • Higher PPI was the main source of upside pressure on the front end as markets continue to price in a series of hikes from the SARB on a 3-6m horizon (currently +69.7bp in forward rates).
