HALISTER1: BofA Sees Colombia Rate Curve Steepening Amid Falling Oil Prices

BofA Sees Colombia Rate Curve Steepening Amid Falling Oil Prices

(Bloomberg) -- Colombia’s outlook is more uncertain as declining oil prices deteriorate the trade balance and increase the chances of a steepening credit curve, Bank of America’s strategists Jane Brauer and Herve Belmas write in a note to clients.
  • Strategists see value in selling 2041 notes vs. 2026 ones on the long end of the curve
  • Increased local issuance resulting from wider fiscal deficits and potentially steeper U.S. curve also support the call
  • BofA also recommends selling Brazil’s 2041 notes vs. 2026 as political noise is unlikely to disappear in the next few months, keeping the reform agenda at risk and steepening the curve
