SAGBs Slide Following Higher PPI

SOUTH AFRICA
  • SAGBs kick off slightly on the backfoot this morning, maintaining yesterday's board weakening trend after PPI data showed a marked acceleration beyond expectations – driven higher by rising energy prices.
  • The SAGB curve lifted +7.2 & 14bp in 2 & 5Y tenors, while 10Y yields rose +9.6bp on the day – reflecting inflation concerns and pre-election jitters.
  • 5 & 10Y breakevens also rose after a period of consolidation from mid-October alongside an uptick in front end ZAR swap rates as markets price in an expedited SARB normalisation cycle.
  • 10Y yields encountered some selling pressure on moves towards 10.20 in line with the October highs, but has remained within the near-term uptrend.
  • Meanwhile 2Y yields maintained their robust uptrend since the start of September (+65bp).
