Nigeria’s economic growth slows for first time since end of recession – NBS

KEY INDICATORS

Inflation 12.48% Declined by 0.86% in April from 13.34% in March 2018
MPR 14.00% Left unchanged at 14.00% at the MPC meeting 0n 4 April 2018
External Reserves $47.79billion Rose by0.02% as at 18 May from $47.78bn as at 17 May 2018
Brent Crude $78.46pb Fell by0.76% from $79.06pb on 18 May 2018

 

Bonds

The Bond market opened the week on a weaker note, with yields rising higher by c.14bps. This was following fears of continued selloff from offshore investors which pushed bid prices significantly lower, despite the relatively scanty volumes traded. We witnessed the most selloff on the 2027s and 2034s, which rose by as much as 7bps (-0.40pt). We expect yields to moderate slightly in the near term, with slight pullback in yields expected at these levels.

Treasury Bills

The T-bills market traded on a slightly bullish note with yields compressing further by c.5bps down to 13.00%. This was as market players cherry-picked on most of the higher yielding bills in the market. We expect yields to maintain a slight downtrend, ahead of the next OMO maturity on Thursday.

Money Market

The OBB and OVN rates shot higher by c.10pct to 16.50% and 17.42% respectively. This was due to provisioning by banks for their Wholesale FX bids which put pressure on system liquidity which opened at c.N66bn long. We expect rates to decline slightly tomorrow, as there are no significant funding pressures expected.

Eurobonds:

The NGERIA Sovereigns traded on a bearish note, with yields rising higher by c.9bps. We witnessed very few trades, mostly on the 2022s, 2030s and 2032s, as investors remained net sellers of bond with very little interests across the SSA space.

The NGERIA corps were mostly quiet, with very little interests observed mostly on the FBNNL 21s and SEPLLN 23s. Other Tickers were relatively quiet with some gains however noted on the Zenith and UBANL 22s.
