SAGBs Open Firmer, Holding Onto Yesterday's Bullish Momentum

SOUTH AFRICA
  • SAGBs open on the front foot this morning with yields down -6-9.6bp across the curve – maintaining bullish momentum from yesterday’s session.
  • Yields fell -5.5-7.3bp in the 5-30Y section of the curve with the 5Y most bid.
  • W/w SAGBs trade +8-13bp bear flatter in 3m-10Y tenors, with 20-30Y tenors mostly flat.
  • 10Y yields remain pegged above the 10.00 handle, while the 30Y has taken a leg below 10.60 this morning with the 17 March lows coming into focus.
  • 1x4 FRA-Jiba3m spreads have narrowed to +28.3bp following yesterday’s flat CPI print, implying little market reaction to the base case decision of a +25bp hike.
