SAGBs Firm as Powell Comments Buoy Risk Sentiment

SOUTH AFRICA
  • SAGBs kick off firmer this morning, with the curve bull flattening -2.6-4.8bp in 10-30Y yields amid more favourable global risk conditions.
  • Powell’s relatively less hawkish comments relating to a more measured balance sheet run-off over several months – supporting global risk and US equities after several of weaker sessions.
  • SAGBs trimmed losses in duration to end -2.2-3.4bp higher in 10-30Y yields with the 10Y pulling back below the 10.00 handle and the 30Y below 10.80.
  • US CPI will be the big-ticket item for UST yields today – expected to rise to 7.0% y/y.
