SAGBs Soften as UST Yields Rise Following US Holiday

SOUTH AFRICA
  • SAGBs kick off weaker this morning with the curve bear steepening +4.2-5.6bp in 10-30Y yields on the back of early selling pressure in USTs.
  • Yields turned mostly higher in SAGBs yesterday with the 10Y most offered on the day at +2.9bp.
  • 2Y yields have also lifted this morning (+2.4bp) ahead of tomorrow’s CPI data, with sell-side analysts eyeing potential for a rise to 5.7-5.8% y/y, driven primarily by fuel and food prices.
  • This is also expected to filter through to a higher average 2022 CPI rate around 5.0% vs 4.5% prior.
