T-Bill rates will give us the signal, wait till they give a downtrend

So your argument is... context doesn't matter?

I didn't say wait till it bottoms out, just untill a downtrend is confirmed

I didn't say wait till it bottoms out, just untill a downtrend is confirmed The downtrend signalQuote:The infrastructure bonds (IFBs) sold by the government this year are trading at a premium in the secondary market at the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) on elevated demand from retail buyers chasing the high, interest-free interest rates on the two papers.
The 17-year IFB sold in March, the 7-year one floated in June, and the 6.5-year paper sold earlier this month are the only three active bonds that traded above their par, or face value, in Friday’s session.

How now? If the devaluation from 100-150 didn't help boost exports what will? I have argued on this forum on kenya's economy having a structural problem. It didn't respond that much to 2021 rate cut stimulus(which is what the monk was trying to achieve) and now did't respond to a competitive devaluation. Quote:“The point we want to make is that we have been losing competitiveness. Our level of exports to GDP has been declining consistently, we are not getting as much tourism receipts as our neighbouring countries, and our FDI has also declined,” said CBK governor Kamau Thugge on Wednesday. So we are now to the 2011 playbook which is to catch the portfolio inflows by hiking rates to match the Fed. US Tbond yields are coming down. Our lazy fund managers have refused to take advantage of low equity prices so let's see if foreign buyers will awaken them Quote:n their August 2023 review, Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) noted that the market dividend yield stood at 8.63 percent, significantly outperforming the peer average group of stock exchanges in the MSCI Frontier Markets Index, which had a yield of 4.28 percent. I expect the market will be reverting to the mean(to get to the frontier market yield) so doubling of market which is much better returns than what you will get from the T-bills. Same reason that in 2011 the market ignored T-bills at 20% Market turnover yesterday was quite robust

However, a devaluation of a country's currency in the short term worsens the balance of payment. after some time the balance of payments/current account should improve. (J-curve phenomenon in economics). I saw from the mpc report that the balance of payments position in Kenya has deteriorated marginally.I suspect it should improve with time.

I have built decent cash reserves this year, hoping to profit from market distortions like i did around 2011. However, unlike last time, TBIlls and bonds have not excited me. a lot of uncertainty on whether the WB and IMF will bail out Kenya next yr. Of course, if these 2 institutions fail to lend us the moneys we default.we can't raise the 2b dollars required. Am asking mysef why couldn't imf/WB bail out Ghana, Zambia and now Ethiopia. What's so special about Kenya? I have passed over the 18% sumptuous bonds on offer with a few regrets

Is it dividend season optimism or we are back to life? These forums were very vibrant, will we ever rise again? You could see a crowd of participants.. Are you still alive guys? 😄 "Don't let the fear of losing be greater than the excitement of winning."
