Bond yields edge higher on rising geo-political tensions

08 Aug 2014 Evaluate

Bond yields edged higher as investors sold debt amid rising geo-political tensions while higher global crude oil prices also weighed. Meanwhile, cautiousness ahead of Rs 14,000 crore debt sale, which kept traders on tenterhooks, also added to the downbeat sentiment for bonds.

On the global front, the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield hit a 14-month low on news that President Barack Obama had authorized air strikes in Iraq added to already simmering geopolitical tensions and fanned demand for safe haven assets. Meanwhile, Brent neared $107 a barrel after the United States approved air strikes against Islamic militants in Iraq, raising the threat of oil disruptions from the key oil producer.

Back home, the yield on soon to be benchmark 8.40%- 2024 bond were trading 4 basis points higher at 8.67% from its previous close of 8.63% on Thursday.

The yields on existing benchmark 2023, 10-year Government Stock were trading 3 basis points higher at 8.88% from its previous close of 8.85% on Thursday.

The benchmark five-year interest rate swaps were trading 2 basis points higher at 7.91% from its previous close of 7.89% on Thursday.

The Governments of India have announced the sale (re-issue) of three dated securities for Rs 14,000 crore on August 1, 2014, including (i) 8.27% Government Stock 2020 for a notified amount of Rs 3000 crore); (ii) 8.40% Government Stock 2024 for a notified amount of Rs 9000 crore and (iii) 9.23% Government Stock 2043 for a notified amount of Rs 2000 crore
