Debt Markets Today - February 8, 2021

CIS EUROBOND MARKETRussian sovereign Eurobond prices did not react to the jump in US Treasury yields on Friday and traded sideways. The only movers were the Russia 42 and Russia 47, which added 0.2 pp apiece.GOVERNMENT DEBTA decline in geopolitical risks, a rise in oil prices and a strengthening ruble continued to provide support to the OFZ market on Friday. Yields fell 6-9 bps, with the sharpest declines seen at the long end of the curve, which also saw the highest volumes. Total trading volume amounted to R33 bln. With weekly inflation stabilizing and geopolitical risks subsiding, the focus this week will be on Wednesday's OFZ auction. Since the Finance Ministry triggered a rather sharp correction when it announced that it would auction off a couple of nominal issues without a limit last week, we think it could be inclined to offer up more defensive issues this week in order to support the market. However, we would not rule out another offering of nominal paper without a limit in light of the ongoing rally that kicked off late last week.STORIES> National Wealth Fund could be used to spur growth this year> Inflation continues to accelerate, reaching 5.2% y-o-y in January> Court orders Nornickel to pay R146 bln environmental fine> Rusal: Good 4Q20 trading update; earnings preview
