SAGBs Mixed to Start the Week, 30Y Teeters on 10.50 Support

SOUTH AFRICA
  • Local rates trade mixed around the open with a marginal bear flattening bias on the back of weaker APAC risk sentiment.
  • SAGBs ended Friday's session mostly firmer (-3.7-6.0bp) at the long end as 30Y yields teetered around the 10.50 level.
  • W/w, however, the SAGB curve managed to eke out a marginal gain with the 10-30Y portion of the curve moving -7.5-14bp lower as yields traded choppily.
  • 10Y Yields now approaching the 61.8% fib of the recent range, while 30Y yields move towards 76.4%.
  • SA's 5Y CDS drifted -4.922 lower into the back end of the week, but remains pegged above the 200 handle.
