Bonds
The FGN Bond market traded on a relatively quiet note except for
slight sell witnessed on the 2028 bond towards the close of the trading
session. Yields however compressed by c.3bps on average, following slight
decline in yields on the short end of the curve.
We expect demand interests to be relatively muted, with yields
expected to remain stable in the near term.

Treasury
Bills
The T-bills market traded on a relatively quiet note,
with yields trending slightly higher following an OMO auction announcement by
the CBN. The OMO auction was howewer oversubcribed by c.105%, leading to a
further cut in stop rates by 4bps to 11.80% on the 93-day and by 6bps to 13.14%
on the 205-day, with total sale of N15.90bn and N100.41bn respectively.
The CBN would conduct an NTB auction tomorrow, with
only c.N49bn T-bills on offer. Given the signifcantly smaller amount of T-bills
on offer, we expect stop rates to clear at about 15 - 30bps lower than their
levels in the previous week’s auction.

Money
Market
Rates in the
money market trended higher by c.2pct due to the c.N116bn OMO sale which led to
a decline in system liquidity from opening levels of c.N285bn. The OBB and OVN
rates consequently ended the session at 12.00% and 12.67% respectively.
We expect rates
to remain relatively stable tomorrow, as there are no significant outflows
anticipated.

Eurobonds
The NGERIA Sovereigns remained bullish,
with yields lower by c.7bps on average. The most demand was still witnessed in
the belly of the curve which gained c.0.60pct on the day.
In the NGERIA Corps, we witnessed slight
interests on the FBNNL 21s and FIDBAN 22s.
