Yields on the BMA-PGBI increased by 1.5 bps and its value increased by 0.02% to close at 99.3065. The yield to maturities for the short and long tenors remained stable. The medium tenors saw a 1 basis point increase in yields, but only amongst the 6 - 7 year segment. The interest rate return more than negated the increase in yields in the medium tenors, and this led to the increase in value of the BMA-PGBI.
