Treasury Bill rates just fell to their lowest level this year. So why are investors still rushing to buy?
Today’s auction saw the 364-day T-bill rate fall to 15.89%, its lowest level this year.
This comes shortly after the CBN cut the MPR from 26.5% to 23%.
But despite the lower yield, investors still submitted ₦4.09 trillion in bids for just ₦400 billion worth of the 364-day bills on offer.
Why?
Because investors may be anticipating that interest rates will continue to fall.
So some are choosing to lock in today’s yield before rates potentially fall even further.
