SAGBs Soften Ahead of CPI/PPI Data & Key FOMC

SOUTH AFRICA
  • SAGBs open slightly weaker this morning in the run-up to CPI data and the FOMC this evening with yields up 1-2bp across the curve.
  • Yesterday’s session saw a notable turnaround to close +6.6-7.6bp bull flatter on the day with the 10Y leading the way lower – having pulled back from the 10 handle.
  • Key support remains at 9.852 in the 10Y & 10.55 in the 30Y, while pivot resistance is defined at 10.00 & 10.80 respectively.
  • CPI & PPI data are the initial hurdles today before the FOMC, with some sell-side analysts seeing scope for a slightly softer CPI print at 5.4% y/y.
  • 3x6 FRA-Jibar spreads have remained mostly stable in the +32-40bp range, having moderated from +50bp following the discovery of Omicron.
