SAGBs Slide Into the Red as Upside Momentum in UST Yields Holds

SOUTH AFRICA
  • SAGBs slide into the red this morning with the curve +2.1-4.3bp higher across the breadth – holding a bear flattening bias as UST yields continue to march higher.
  • Similar price action was seen yesterday with the SAGB curve ending +2.5-6.1bp higher in 2-5Y yields while the 30Y managed to close -0.5bp lower.
  • 10Y yields have drifted above 9.90 this morning and may look to test 10.00 resistance to the topside as market conviction in higher UST yields towards the 2.0% mark builds.
  • CPI will be the key focus for SAGBs today with risks skewed slightly to the upside, although the print is unlikely to change expectations for a +25bp hike next week.
