Nigeria bond yields rise 50 bps across board to five month high -traders

Nigerian bond yields rose 50 basis points across maturities on Wednesday to a level last seen five months ago, traders said.
Investors, worried that rising global inflation could trigger a rate hike in developed economies and lead to a capital flight in emerging markets, were closing out their bond positions, traders said.
The benchmark 20-year debt jumped 13.5 percent to a five-month high. The most liquid five-year bonds rose to 13.7 percent from 13.2 percent in the previous session, traders said.
