EM CEEMEA CREDIT: Sharjah Islamic Bank: FV $ 5Y Sukuk
(SIB; Baa2/A-neg/BBB+)
IPT T+125bp area FV T+96bp
- Emirate of Sharjah’s Sharjah Islamic Bank (SIB) is in the primary market with a Sukuk format $ 5Y deal. We see FV at z+125bp or T+96bp area.
- We sketch our FV considerations primarily looking at SIB seasoned bonds, with a focus on recently issued SIB Feb30 charting at z+120bp, that gives a 5bp spread pick up for the curve extension. For reference, the shorter dated SIB Jul29 chart at z+117bp area.
- Elsewhere in the Emirate of Sharjah, we look at the slopes of secondary curves for Bank of Sharjah (BOSUH; NR/NR/BBB+) and the Government of Sharjah (SHJGOV; Ba1/BBB-/NR).
Among the many comparables in the UAE, we also consider higher rated, shorter dated Dubai Islamic Bank’s (DIBUH; A3/NR/A) Mar29 charting at z+100bp area, in line with Commercial Bank of Dubai’s (CBDUH; Baa1/NR/A-) Oct29 charting at z+97bp.

This move higher also maintains the bullish price sequence of higher highs and higher lows. Note too that moving average studies are in a bull-mode position, highlighting a dominant uptrend. Sights are on 1.4019, a Fibonacci retracement point. On the downside, first key support lies at 1.3825, the 50-day EMA.

The AUDUSD uptrend remains intact and recent weakness appears to have been a correction. Support to watch lies at the 50-day EMA, at 0.6558. A clear break of this average would signal scope for a deeper retracement and expose 0.6527 once again, a Fibonacci retracement. For bulls, a stronger reversal higher would refocus attention on 0.6707, the Sep 17 high. Initial resistance to watch is 0.6629, the Sep 30 and Oct 1 high.
