Will Nigerian bond yields spike immediately after this news?
Yields are likely to rise as the market digests implications for inflation and currency. If the central bank signals a rate hike, yields could jump 50-100 basis points.
Should investors avoid Nigerian bonds now?
Short-term bonds face repricing risk, but longer-dated bonds may be more vulnerable to duration sell-offs. The high yields could attract yield-seeking investors if naira stabilizes.
