RUSSIA
  • Local & USD rates trade slightly weaker at the open, maintaining bearish momentum from yesterday's broadly risk-off session.
  • Yields rose +15-31bp across the curve as the US made threats of sanctions and geopolitical posturing resumed its upward course.
  • 5-10y tenors felt the brunt of the move, rising +24-31bp on the day with the 7y up +3bp this morning with 9.00 resistance looming above.
  • Russia's 5Y CDS continues to rise towards the March/April highs just short of 120 as geopolitical brinkmanship shows no signs of de-escalating just yet – now +34bp above the October lows.
