SAGBs Open Firmer as Risk Sentiment Picks Up Slightly

SOUTH AFRICA
  • SAGBs open slightly firmer this morning with yields -1.9-2.4bp lower at the back end of the curve as improved risk sentiment filters through from APAC – recovering from weak Chinese data yesterday.
  • SAGBs closed yesterday’s session mostly mixed, but 10 & 30Y yields managed to hold below 10.40 & 11.00 resistance respectively.
  • Next support is seen at 10.30 & bear trigger at 10.198 in the 10Y, and 10.893 & 10.791 in the 30Y.
  • Focus remains on CPI and the SARB meeting tomorrow with analyst CPI estimates coming in the 5.8-6.0% y/y range.
  • However, anything within this range is unlikely to change the consensus for a +50bp hike this week.
