Yields Fall Sharply As De-Escalation Fuels Firmer Risk Sentiment

RUSSIA
  • Local & USD rates open firmer with yields -6-8bp lower in OFZs and -3.8-9.1bp in USD bonds with a bull steepening bias holding on the back of yesterday’s de-escalation.
  • OFZ yields fell -16-33bp yesterday with gains concentrated in 7-10Y tenors, while USD bond yields fell -24.6-32.4bp with the 15Y most bid.
  • The 5Y CDS dropped -30bp yesterday and a further 11.83 this morning, but remains 29.32bp above the 10 Feb lows and 88bp above the Jan 05 lows at 120.
  • This risk premium could narrow further on additional signs of troop pullback from Ukraine’s border as the West remains sceptical at this early stage.
  • W/w CPI & PPI data will be eyed for signs of moderating price pressures this afternoon.
