SAGBs Trim Gains as Risk-Off Rattles Sentiment

RUSSIA
  • SAGBs kick of slightly softer this morning, with 2Y yields up +3.1bp in early trading.
  • Broad-based risk-off drove yields +3.8-7.8bp higher across the curve in yesterday’s session, with 2 & 30Y tenors most offered on the day.
  • 30Y yields have returned to retest the 10.50 breakout lower, while the 10Y failed to hold below 9.70.
  • Post-SARB the focus will be on the possibility for a basic income grant in the Feb budget, although FinMin Godongwana has been pushing back on implementing permanent measures with temporary windfalls.
  • Expectations for fiscal prudence should support duration in the lead-up to the meeting (23 Feb).
