Bond yields edged higher following the first ever term reverse repo auction announcement, but stayed in tight range ahead of Tuesday's policy review. Street widely expects RBI to keep its repo rate unchanged at 8% in Second Bi-monthly Monetary Policy Statement for the year 2014- 15 on June 3 and will closely monitor the tone of the central bank's policy review to gauge the forward guidance on rates and other economic indicators.
Meanwhile, country’s first-ever term reverse repo auction to drain cash met with a poor response as expected on Monday as market participants believed liquidity was not as flush as the central bank was anticipating. Out of the total notified amount of Rs 15,000 crore, total amount of offers received was worth Rs 2025 crore.
On the global front, U.S. Treasuries yields rose on Friday as the investor demand that stoked May's bond rally faded and Wall Street dealers sought to resell their share of this week's $95 billion in fixed-rate government debt supply. Meanwhile, brent crude futures rose towards $110 a barrel on Monday as data showing China's factory activity expanded at its quickest pace in five months in May revived hopes of healthy demand growth for the world's second-biggest oil consumer.
