SOUTH AFRICA
  • SAGBs trade mixed around the open, seeing a marginal bear flattening at the start of play with 2Y yields +2.8bp.
  • Yesterday’s session saw duration catch a bid on the back of firmer global risk sentiment spurred on by RRR cuts in China and robust buying pressure in US equities.
  • 10-30Y yields fell -3.3-5.8bp on the day, with 30Y yields leading the way lower. 2y yields stalled just above 4.90, rising back towards the 5.00 handle.
  • Key support in the 30Y stands at 10.508, with a break below this level opening up the 12 Nov lows at 10.30.
