Briefing Romania
RON500 million T-bill maturing today
EUR/RON
The EUR/RON trading range shifted in the upper part of the 4.7400-4.7500 interval, likely helped by the cheaper leu funding rates. Nevertheless, the low turnover does not point to meaningful upside pressure for now. We expect the same 4.7400-4.7500 range for today, with a possible test above 4.7500.
Government bonds
Romanian government bonds continue to be supported by better bids across the curve. Today’s expiry of a RON500 million 1Y paper likely generated some rollover demand as well. There wasn't any fresh news yesterday regarding the bank levy and in particular the ROMGBs exemption from the taxable base.
Money Market
Better liquidity conditions continue to push implied yields lower, with short dates now trading below the National Bank of Romania's key rate of 2.50%. This level could act as an anchor for a while as some market participants might expect the central bank to drain liquidity at the key rate level.
