First of the Month


How did rates behave this week? Inflation data for February 2029 showed that the year-on-year inflation rate came in at 6.3%, a drop of 60bps from the previous month. The T-bills all had marginal increases in their yields but the CBK stepped in to ensure the 17% mark was not breached nor reached. In the secondary space, the recently auctioned IFB1/2024/8.5Yr continued its move down as it traded below the 18% mark with significant demand for the paper still in play. Taking all this into consideration, the notion that rates have peaked becomes more realistic.To help you navigate the rest of the curve, below is a snapshot of what is at play within the secondary market for your consideration. Happy hunting!
