Start of the 5th

 
The sale-period of this month’s bond auction closes today. Bids must be submitted at the Central Bank by 2.00 P.M. Below is a quick recap of my expectations:
  • FXD1/2022/10Yr: average of approximately 13.95%
  • FXD1/2022/15Yr: average of approximately 13.95%
  • Summary: bids of both papers to come in around the 14% mark as the CBK has recently capped the yields accepted at the primaries at this level. Liquidity has improved and this should show up in this auction. For the CBK to be lock in a significant portion of this liquidity at this auction, they should allow yields to cross the 14% mark to match the market’s valuation of long dated paper. This however is not what is expected and this dance between the CBK and the market is expected to continue.
For the rest of your trading activities, below is a snapshot of what is at play within the secondary market for your consideration. Happy hunting and bidding!
