Hungary lifts 6-week bill auction, market sees no rate cut in June yet

Portfolio
Hungary's Government Debt Management Agency (ÁKK) has received HUF 147.7 billion worth of bids on HUF 50 bn 6-week discount treasury bills at a liquidity auction on Monday. The nearly 2.5x bid/cover ratio prompted the ÁKK to sell HUF 10 bn more of the instrument than originally planned.
The average yield was set to 7.95% at a base rate of 8.00%, which indicates that the majority of investors do not expect the central bank (NBH) to make up for the “delay" in rate cuts (hold decision in May) and start its easing cycle on 25 June. Comments following the May policy meeting hinted that the majority of analysts expect the rate cut cycle to be restarted in July.

The ÁKK is set to hold auctions of 3-m T-bills on Tuesday and offer for sale 5-year and 10-year bonds on Thursday. The offered amounts are HUF 40 bn, HUF 45 bn and HUF 40 bn, respectively.
