Chart of the Day: SGS Bond Yield Curve

The SGS bond yield curve has adjusted higher in the wake of the improving US economy and risk appetite plus the recent US Treasury sell-off.

OCBC noted:

The maiden 30-year SGS bond auction size is $2.1b (with MAS taking $100m), and the tender will close on 28 March noon with issue on 2 April. This issue will mark the latest extension of the SGS bond yield curve which currently only has a 20-year tenor.

The issue size is also on the lower end of expectations between $2-2.5b, and should be well-absorbed, especially with the recent back-up in longer-dated bond yields.

Note in the past month alone, SGS bond yields have risen by around 17bps for the 20-year bucket and around 15bps for the 10-year bucket. This contrasts with 30-year swap rate which has retraced from its recent 3.35% high in mid-March to stabilize around 3.13% currently.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
