The 2031–2034 segment followed, capturing 31.36% of total activity at a weighted-average yield of 12.46%.

In contrast, long-end participation remained notably subdued, with the 2035–2038 tenors contributing a marginal 0.04% of total turnover, trading at a 12.55% weighted-average yield.

Databank Research expects the secondary market activity to remain subdued in the near term, as investors adopt a wait-and-see approach ahead of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) decision on Wednesday, 18 March 2026.

“Beyond the meeting, we anticipate the easing cycle to continue gradually, which should support renewed demand for longer-dated bonds and encourage investors to extend duration along the curve”.
