FI Research - MGS 5.5-year New Issue

Good Afternoon,

v The new issue of 5.5-year MGS with an issuance size of RM4.0 billion registered lowest book-to-cover ratio (BTC) of 1.420 times year-to-date. Buyers were mostly local players on higher yields pick-up as they are relatively high cash-in hand. Foreign participation were moderate following series of Fed officials hawkish talks including Chairwoman Janet Yellen.

v Compared to equivalent past MGS issuance in April 2015, this MGS new issue also attracted lower BTC. The average yield of this MGS of 3.620% was lower against 3.659% in April 2015 and 3.654% in April 2014.

v Next tender to watch is the re-opening of 10-year GII 09/26 in June 2016. Key watch:- direction of USD/MYR, MGS/UST spreads and risk appetite for duration.
