SAGBs Firm as Medium-Term Budget Comes Into Focus

SOUTH AFRICA
  • SAGBs kick off on the front foot this morning, with 10-30Y yields down -4.4-5.3bp in early trading.
  • This follows on from yesterday's broadly firmer session on the back of this week's FOMC that saw the curve close lower across the breadth and bull flatter.
  • 2Y yields fell -7.8bp continuing their bullish momentum to target key pivot support at 5.40.
  • Similarly, 10 & 30Y yields snapped a broad consolidation stint as markets move beyond the Fed and local elections to begin pricing in SA's more constructive fiscal picture going into the MTBPS next week.
