The
Bond Market compressed marginally by c.3bps in today’s session, following
slight interests on the 26s, 27s and 37s. Yields however remained much
unchanged on other maturities.
We
expect the market to close the week on a relatively quiet note, with an outlook
for relatively higher yield levels in the coming week.

Treasury
Bills
The
T-bills market traded on a bearish note with yields rising by c.12bps on
average, following sell pressures on the shorter end of the curve in the wake
of the OMO auction (c.425bn) by the CBN.
We expect
the market to remain bearish tomorrow, as market players would be looking to
provide funding for a retail FX intervention sale by the CBN.

Money
Market
Rates in the
money market declined by c.4pct, with the OBB and OVN rates closing the day at
14.08% and 14.92%, as inflows from Net OMO and PMA repayments (c.N265bn)
bolstered system liquidity to c.N385bn est. from c.N120bn opening the day.
Rates are
expected to trend higher tomorrow, as the CBN is expected to debit banks for a
retail FX interventions sale which estimated to mop up most of the available
system liquidity.
