Senegal eurobonds rise after presidential election date confirmed
JOHANNESBURG, March 7 (Reuters) - Senegal's international sovereign dollar bonds rose by more than 2 cents on Thursday, Tradeweb data showed, after President Macky Sall scheduled a delayed presidential election for March 24.
The bond maturing in 2048 rose the most, trading 2.1 cents higher at 75.9 cents on the dollar at 1505 GMT , its highest level since early January, according to Tradeweb.
Sall delayed the election, scheduled for February 25, over disputes over the candidate list and what he said was corruption within the constitutional council that approved the list, but the country's top court ruled that holding the vote after his mandate expires was unconstitutional.
The constitutional council on Thursday confirmed the March 24 election date.
