SAGBs Remain Under Pressure, But Within Their Near-Term Downtrends

SOUTH AFRICA
  • SAGBs kick off on the backfoot this morning with 10-30Y yields up +1.6-2.0bp in early trading.
  • Duration remained under pressure in yesterday’s session with 10 & 30Y yields closing +2.9-4.4bp higher on the day, having pulled back from key resistance at 9.80 & 10.50 respectively.
  • Both tenors remain within their recent downtrends initiated on 11 Jan, but the 10Y is probing the top of its bear channel pattern.
  • The 30Y has seemed slightly more resilient than the 10Y in recent weeks owing to the improving fiscal backdrop pre-budget.
