Hello September

 
The first of the month comes on a weekend, so let’s all try and behave ourselves! Attached are the T-bill auction results from this week and the inflation data for August 2023. On the T-bill front, no changes in how the market has been treating these auctions. Interest largely influenced by the incoming maturities while the bids remain heavily skewed towards the shortest T-bill, the 91D T-bill. On the inflation side, the year-on-year inflation rate was 6.7%, a 60bp drop from the previous month and the second consecutive drop in the inflation rate. For your day’s trading activities, below is a snapshot of what is at play within the secondary market for your consideration. Happy Hunting and the very best wishes for the month ahead!
