Senegal eurobonds fall as opposition candidate Faye takes early presidential poll lead

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) – Senegal’s international bonds fell on Monday, as opposition candidate Bassirou Diomaye Faye took a lead in early presidential election results, with investors concerned this may spell a rollback of the country’s business-friendly policies.

The West African country’s overseas dollar bonds fell more than 2 cents on the dollar in early trading, with the 2048 note down 2.25 cents on the dollar to 69.88 cents, its lowest price since November 2023, according to Tradeweb data.
