Treasury bills worth N186.92 billion were sold by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) last week via both the primary and secondary markets.

While N33.38 billion worth of the bills were sold off by the apex bank at the primary market, N153.54 billion worth of the instruments were auctioned via Open Market Operations (OMO).

It was observed that stop rates for the auctioned fresh T-bills moved in different directions across the tenor buckets: 91-day stop rate was flattish at 10 percent while 182-day stop rate rose to 10.50 percent from 10.40 percent.

However, the 364-day stop rates fell to 11.22 percent from 11.30 percent.

Also, N153.54 billion worth of T-bills were sold via the secondary market and the outflows were offset by N473.40 billion in matured T-bills on Thursday.

Also, indicative of liquidity surplus was the Standing Deposit Facility (SDF) worth N431.43 billion which outweighed the Standing Lending Facility (SLF) worth N8.67 billion, according to Cowry Asset.

Hence, NIBOR for overnight funds rate moderated to 8.25 percent from 8.90 percent amid sustained financial liquidity ease.

However, NIBOR for other tenor buckets rose: 1 month, 3 months and 6 months tenor buckets rose w-o-w to, 12.06 percent from 11.31 percent, 12.70 percent from 12.44 percent and 14.52 percent from 13.80 percent respectively, suggesting unwillingness of banks to lend to one other.

Elsewhere, NITTY rose for most maturities tracked amid sustained bearish activity due to the continued sell-offs by foreign portfolio investors: yields on the 1 month, 6 months and 12 months maturities increased to 10.34 percent from 10.24 percent, 13.01 percent from 12.77 percent and 12.86 percent from 12.76 percent respectively.

However, yield on 3 months maturity fell to 11.35 percent from 11.36 percent.

We make hay while the sun shine.....

Invest now and reap later......

I hear

Hmmmmmmm

Please would T bill rate go higher than what it is now?

I mean higher that yearly 11% ?

Investment in real business is better than T bills in terms of returns. Rice farming with 150naira can generate 1m naira in 3 months. My rice farming is doing well now and my prayer is that herdsmen will not attack the farm. No risk no money.

This is good

We should be ashamed of ourselves

Very interesting topic about the economy and only a few are understanding this, you don't even have to be a banker, accountant or economist to know what is being expressed here

But if it's Linda Ikeji, Saraki vs Oshiomole vs Buhari, or BBnaija, we will all raise our heads and be shouting

Shalom!

It depends on inflation rate.

If American economy continue in the growth trajectory we saw for last quarter, then investors appetite to pull out funds from the emerging markets may be sustained. As such, countries like ours may be forced to increase interest rate on Tbills to reduce capital flight. Another factor is the election risk which has always scare investors away from the country and see headline inflation skyrocketing. Thus, CBN may decide To mitigate these risks by raising Tbills rate.

I rather continue with my 14% FD than this abeg.

P.S:
This is for those asking me to tell them the bank that can give them such ROI.
FD with most FIs is negotiable.
Your negotiating power is a factor of the value of ur proposed investment. 
Cheers

Tbills rate will most likely go up considering that post elections activities could increase liquidity and also Us sustained increase in interest rate would pull out Foreign investors sentiments from emerging markets so CBN will do everything to sustain foreign investors in the market.


In all of this the real sector will suffer if interest rates are increased, from decline in demand to non availability of credit which will have a multiplier effect on availability of jobs and increase in our already crime rate. Banks will shift there sentiments to government securities there by posting high returns and neglecting there primary objective of providing funding to our local manufacturing firms.

What do I even know after all we have "experts"
managing the affairs our country who are more interested in sustaining foreign investors sentiments than developing the real sector.

I forgot the stock market is already bleeding and further increase in rates will bleed it more.

Nobody is talking about policies that will create an enabling environment for the manufacturing sector to thrive. Nobody is concerned that we have unemployment rate at an all time high

Only if BUHARI knows the meaning of T-Bills

Please house, if I bought TB at 13% and I didn't wait until maturity before selling in the secondary market at 11% .. would I make a profit from the low rate?
Considering I sold about 50 days to maturity for a dull tenor(364) days..
