EM CEEMEA CREDIT: Omniyat: FV on mandate $ L3Y Sukuk
(OMNYAT; NR/BB-/BB-)
"MANDATE: Omniyat $Benchmark Long 3Y Reg S Sukuk" – BBG
FV in the region of 7.125% yield
- As we see flurry of new $ mandates in GCC region, we try and make some sense of how to interpret signal from the secondary market, assessing initial FV for potential new deals albeit with the limited information publicly available.
- In the case of Omniyat’s proposed $ BM Long 3Y Sukuk format deal, for a hypothetical Feb29 maturity, i.e. in line with peer Sobha Realty’s Long 3Y issued back in May, at z+390bp we gauge the curve would show some 15bp of spread pick up vs seasoned OMNYAT May28 currently charting @ z+375bp area or just below 7.00% yield (source: Bloomberg).
- To gain some perspective, we chart how secondary spread curves have moved since Omniyat came to the market last on 28 April, when it brought to the market a $ 3Y Sukuk Green deal, launched at 8.375% (first settl. date 6 May). Whilst curves have tightened significantly over the period, more recently, spread moves have partially reversed earlier tightening, in particular over the last week.
Among comparables, we look at seasoned bonds of Sobha Realty (SOBHA; Ba2/BB/NR), with SOBHA Feb29s charting at z+395bp, having hovered around z+375bp ahead of the most recent $ 5Y issuance last week. Furthermore, we consider Arada Developments (ARADAD; B1/NR/BB-), with ARADAD Jun29s charting at z+365bp having hovered around z+350bp earlier this month. For reference, we also chart shorter dated bonds issued by Damac Properties (DAMACR; Ba1/BB/NR).

Aussie 10-yr futures received a boost from the US Treasury rally that followed a poor NFP print. This keeps Aussie 10-year futures toward the top end of the recent range. To the upside, next resistance is at 96.207, a Fibonacci retracement point. Next support undercuts at 95.420 (pierced), the Feb 13 low, ahead of 95.275, the Nov 14 low and a key support. Clearance of this level would strengthen a bearish condition.
SECURITY: Trump To Sign Trilateral Peace Accord With Armenia/Azerbaijan Shortly
US President Donald Trump is shortly due to sign a trilateral peace agreement with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev at the White House. LIVESTREAM The event will provide another opportunity for Trump to style himself as peacemaker, after touting success in brokering peace deals between Rwanda/Congo, Cambodia/Thailand, and India/Pakistan.
- The accord aims to resolve a decade-long dispute over the sovereignty of Nagorno-Karabakh - a breakaway Azerbaijani province that was under de facto Armenian control from the dissolution of the Soviet Union until a 2020 war.
- Trump described the meeting on Truth Social as a “historic peace summit,” noting that the US will also sign “Bilateral Agreements [to] fully unlock the potential of the South Caucasus Region.”
- White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly told reporters that Trump would sign deals with both Armenia and Azerbaijan on energy, technology, economic cooperation, border security, infrastructure and trade.
- A White House official said: "It's about the entire region, and [the leaders] know that that region is known to be safer and more prosperous with President Trump."
- Reuters reports that the US will have development rights to build transportation links in the strategic Zangezur Corridor, a mountainous stretch of Armenian territory between Azerbaijan and its Nakhichevan exclave.
- Politico notes: “But whether this is just a photo opportunity or a lasting end to a conflict that has undermined stability in a region dominated by Russia and Iran will depend on whether the US can address several key challenges.”
FED: Balance Sheet Runoff Continues At Steady $20B/Month Pace (2/2)
Fed asset holdings were little changed in the past week. SOMA runoff totaled $2.8B (composed of $4.2B less nominal Tsy holdings and $1.4B more TIPS), with emergency lending/liquidity facilities $0.7B lower.
- Over the last 4 weeks, the $20B/monthly expected QT pace was roughly adhered to: MBS fell $18B, with Treasury net holdings down around $2B (a fall in TIPS holdings offsetting a slight rise in nominals).
- Discount window usage accounted for the fall in lending facility usage this week; takeup is now down to $4.9B, down $1.3B in the last month and down from the 1-year high of $6.4B set in July which looks to have been a temporary blip higher.
