SAGBs On the Backfoot as Risk Sentiment Sours

SOUTH AFRICA
  • Local rates trade slightly weaker at the open, following on from yesterday's broadly risk-off session.
  • SAGBs traded choppily as risk sentiment soured, with 10Y yields most offered on the day after snapping the 11-17 Aug downtrend.
  • 9.30 appears to be a key pivot point, with a consolidated move higher opening up 9.35 & 9.412 to the topside.
  • 30Y yields fared slightly better on the day, retracing most of the early move higher to end a fraction below 10.60.
  • A move back above the level on sustained risk-off opens 10.70-10.80 resistance.
  • SA's 5Y CDS moved sharply higher yesterday, breaking the 200-210 lateral range (+8.28bp w/w).
