The Bond market continued on a bearish run with trades skewed towards the short end of the curve.The 2019 and 2022 bonds yields inched up the most today (7bps) due to sell pressure by counterparties. This resulted in an average yield increase of 4bps across the entire bond yield curve. We expect the market to be moderately bullish tomorrow as investors who missed out of the bond auction come to the secondary market to fill their demand.

The Treasury bills market was largely bearish today due to profit taking activities by counterparties, coupled with the ample liquidity in the Mon- ey Market. Consequently, T-bills yields increased by 25bps across the en- tire yield curve. We expect the sell-off to moderate tomorrow as market liquidity improves significantly.

OBB and O/N rates moderated further to 18.00% and 19.00% as commer- cial banks could access the SLF window to fund their obligations. We ex- pect interest rates to decline tomorrow as N153billion OMO T-bills ma- ture into the system. The CBN will be poised to manage excess liquidity by floating OMO.
