0151 GMT - Investor demand at the Monetary Authority of Singapore's auction next week of S$1.7 billion of 15-year government bonds is likely to be supportive, Victor Yong, interest rates strategist at UOB Global Economics & Markets Research, says in a note. When compared with this year's supply of securities with tenors of 10-years or longer, Monday's auction will be the smallest on a duration-adjusted basis, Yong says. This suggests that "price concession" pressures may be muted given the manageable supply duration, Yong says. Overall, UOB isn't expecting the auction to perform too badly, he adds. The auction is a re-opening of an existing bond. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
