Debt Markets Today - February 17, 2021

CIS EUROBOND MARKETRising US Treasury yields yesterday continued to put pressure on Russian sovereign Eurobond prices. The biggest movements occurred in long issues, with the Russia 43 down 1.7 pp, the Russia 42 off 1.5 pp and the Russia 47 down 1.2 pp. Nevertheless, the Z-spread of the Russia 47 still narrowed by 3 bps to 174 bps.GOVERNMENT DEBTThe auctions announcement yesterday brought significant pressure on the OFZ market yesterday. Today, the Finance Ministry will again offer nominal issues in the belly (the 7y OFZ 26236; May 2028) and at the long end (the 15y OFZ 26233; July 2035) with no set limits. The announcement caused yields to generally surge another 7-12 bps, while the yield on the 7y paper being placed today moved 19 bps higher. Yesterday, the CEOs of VTB and Sber said they stood ready to buy OFZs in significant volumes but that the supply of floaters and nominal issues should be balanced. In light of this, we could see increased demand from local banks at today's auctions. However, should the premiums on offer continue to exceed the average at the end of last year (2-3 bps), yields could continue to climb.STORIES> Nornickel: 2H20 IFRS; leverage to stay under 1.0 if fine paid in 1H21
