SAGBs Tread Water Ahead of FOMC as MPC Eyes Faster Taper

SOUTH AFRICA
  • SAGBs continue to tread water around the open with 2y yields marginally in the red (+1.2bp).
  • Yesterday’s session saw tentative strength reversed for a marginally weaker close and a slight bear steepening bias with 30Y yields most offered at +3.2bp on the day.
  • 10y yields remained mostly stable, hovering below 10.00 pivot resistance, while 30y yields pulled close to the 10.80 handle – opening 10.90-11.00 on a move above the level.
  • 2y yields held above 5.10, looking to take the next leg higher towards 5.20-5.30 as expectations for a hawkish FOMC brew.
