Treasury Bills
The T-bills market also traded on
bearish note with some selloff witnessed especially on the short tenured bills
due to the squeeze in market liquidity which is estimated to close today on a
marginally positive note. Average T-bill Yields consequently rose by c.33bps,
even as the CBN sold N21bn of the 191-day OMO bill offered, at 14.40%. We
expect slight retracements in yields as market players anticipate inflows from
OMO maturities on Thursday.

Money Market
The OBB and OVN rates spiked to
35.80% and 37.42% as the CBN mandated banks with balances at the SLF window to
fund their positions or risk having their bills rediscounted. This put further
pressure on market which opened at just c.N20bn positive. We expect rates to be
relatively stable at these levels tomorrow, as there are no significant
liquidity inflows expected until Thursday.
