SAGBs Pare Yesterday's Gains, CPI Data Eyed Pre-SARB

SOUTH AFRICA
  • SAGBs trade flat to weaker at the open, having retraced early strength yesterday to end slightly in the red.
  • The curve closed bear flatter on the day with 2Y yields (+3.3bp) maintaining their upside momentum ahead of the FOMC & SARB – trading around the Aug highs & 38.2% Fib drawn off the early July highs.
  • 10Y yields also rose +1.6bp while the 15-30Y section ended less than 1bp higher.
  • 10Y yields also moved tentatively above the Aug 10 high, which may open up 9.50-9.60 to the topside if we see UST yields rise sharply post-FOMC.
  • A lower print on headline CPI today may see selling pressure on 2Y yields ease.
