EUR/RON

The EUR/RON traded sideways yesterday in a tight 4.7450-4.7500 range, testing the lower bound of the interval after the 10Y bond auction, which likely gathered some interest from offshore investors. Range for today: 4.7450-4.7550.

ROMGBs

Long-end ROMGB yields declined around 5 basis points yesterday, helped by a good 10Y auction result. The Ministry of Finance sold the planned amount of RON500 million at an average/cut-off yield of 4.11%/4.13% - the lower end of expectations. The bid-to-cover ratio was 1.5x. Some unfilled demand is likely to keep the long end well bid today.

Money market

Despite budget payments the day before, the cash rate dropped c.50bps to 2.70% leading to a steepening of the forward curve.
