Indian bond yields eased for a second straight session on Friday tracking an overnight fall in the U.S. yields and worsening debt crisis. On the global front, U.S. Treasury debt prices rose on Thursday and benchmark yields dipped to the lowest level this year as weak U.S. regional factory data and fears over the outcome of the Greek debt crisis stoked the safe-haven bid for bonds. Greek politicians have been unable to agree on budget cuts and state asset sales that the European Union and International Monetary Fund require before lending to the debt-laden country new cash to refinance 330 billion ($466 billion) of debt.
The yields on 10-year benchmark, the 7.80%-2021 was trading lower at 8.23% from its previous close of 8.30% on Thursday.
The benchmark five-year interest rate swaps were also lower at 7.53% from its previous close of 7.66% on Thursday.
