SAGBs Soften as Local Risk Factors Come Into View

SOUTH AFRICA
  • Local rates open slightly softer this morning, having gained some bullish traction in yesterday's session following domestic CPI numbers.
  • The curve shifted -6.6-11.5bp lower across the breadth with 10-30Y tenors leading a bull flattening move.
  • 10Y yields pulled below 9.30 support, but will need to clear 9.20 to rack up further gains.
  • Firmer global risk sentiment provided yesterday's bullish impetus for SAGBs, but today the local covid situation and political infighting within the ANC will be on display.
  • PPI data will also be eyed, but no major risks expected to the SARB's current stance.
