Good Morning Treasurers,

This is your host Parthesh Shah, Co-Founder of Knight Fintech and you are listening to Knight Snippets.

Here is all what you need to know before going into trade for 16-Apr-2021.

International Market:-
- Positive news on US economy:

#1: Retail sales rose 9.8% in March, beating economists’ already-optimistic forecasts
#2: Initial claims for unemployment insurance were lower than expected
- Even after the positive news on economy, yields fell

Reason#1:Bond market was beginning to price in a peak for economic growth @ 10% this quarter.

Reason#2: Japanese are  buying US Treasuries, which they had sold-off in March-21 quarter due to profit booking
- Remember, Knight had propelled the idea of Japanese interest?  
- US 10-year closed 8 bps lower at 1.56% and 30-year closed 9 bps lower at 2.23% on Thursday
- China: Economy grew at 18.3% in the first quarter, slightly missing expectations

Crude Oil Market:
- Support: 74.80; Resistance: 75.40
- USDINR structurally weak, may touch 75.50 soon

Domestic Market:
- WPI inflation in March rose to 7.39% from 4.17% in February
- Indian Govt bond prices fell sharply as the results of RBI's G-SAP 1.0 disappointed market participants
- In Yesterday's G-SAP1.0 auction, the cut-offs were as below:

4.48 GS 2023 : 4.55%
5.15 GS 2025: 5.56%
6.79 GS 2027: 6.13%
5.85 GS 2030: 6.03%; Much larger disappointment here
6.22 GS 2035: 6.61%

With the above cut-offs:
5.15 GS 2025 closed at 5.64% Vs 5.59% the previous trading day;
5.85 GS 2030 closed at 6.12% Vs 6.01% the previous trading day;

Remember, in our yesterday's podcast Knight Research said:
- If RBI accepts 5.85 GS 2030 with very little amount or above 6.03%, benchmark will move towards 6.03% - 6.08% range
- Benchmark indeed closed yesterday @ 6.12%, a 11 bps rise in a single day
- Didn't we warn you of this possibility yesterday itself?

15-Apr-2021 SDL Auction Analysis:
- 10-year RJ @ 6.78,  MG @ 6.82
- 12-year J&K @ 6.78

Knight Inference:
- We are looking at the bottom of SDL yields for now
- We strongly advise our clients to get out of SDLs as soon as possible at 6.75-6.80 levels
- 26,000 Cr weekly G-Sec auctions scheduled today
- Underwriting fees by Primary Dealers to be watched
- Knight Research will be available with expected cut-offs  by 10.40am
- Knight Research: Stay out from today's G-Sec auctions

That's it for today.  You were listening to Knight Snippets with Parthesh Shah from Knight Fintech.

See you next week with a new episode of Knight Snippet
