SAGBs Hold Onto Gains Ahead of Close Call SARB

SOUTH AFRICA
  • SAGBs kick off slightly softer this week with 10Y yields up +0.6bp in early trading.
  • W/w the local curve managed to hold onto its bull steepening gains as Fed speakers eased concerns of faster policy normalisation on the back of a higher headline CPI print.
  • This week’s focus is on the close-call SARB meeting, where consensus has aligned with a faster pace of tightening at +50bp vs +25bp in March. 1x4 FRA-Jiba3m spreads have remained in the +45-48bp range since early May.
  • This should keep front end yields mostly stable or drifting slightly higher into the meeting, while longer term tenors will continue to trade in line with global risk sentiment.
  • 1x4 FRA-Jiba3m
