SAGBs Remain on the Front Foot, 10Y Leads Pre-MTBPS

SOUTH AFRICA
  • SAGBs start tentatively on the front foot in duration this morning, having remained well bid in yesterday's session.
  • The curve shifted lower across the breadth yesterday amid more favourable global risk conditions with 10-30Y yields outperforming on the day.
  • The 10Y was the standout, with yields falling -13.9bp to break below 9.80 support and the 50% fib of the 31 Aug-29 Oct range.
  • Expectations for a strong showing at the MTBPS this week are also supporting greater demand for duration on an improved medium-term fiscal outlook, but risks to more permanent grants and left-leaning policy following the ANC's poor election showing remain the primary concern for this meeting.
