Bond yields edge lower post the release of five year low August WPI data

15 Sep 2014 Evaluate

Bond yields edged lower post the release of five year low August WPI data, which is likely to exert some pressure on RBI for cut in the repo rate, or the rate at which the Reserve Bank of India lends to banks. Adding to this clamor is the low 0.5% growth in July in industrial production, and a marginal ease of retail inflation rate of 7.8% in August. Meanwhile, India's main inflation gauge, based on monthly WPI, stood at 3.74% for the month of August as compared to 5.19% in the previous month and 6.99% during the corresponding month of the previous year. Further, drop in global crude oil prices also helped the sentiment.

On the global front, U.S. Treasuries yields rallied on Friday, with benchmark yields posting their biggest weekly increase in over a year after solid U.S. retail sales data bolstered expectations for a more hawkish statement from the Federal Reserve next week. Meanwhile, brent crude slumped to a more than two-year low under $97 per barrel on Monday as a slew of lacklustre economic data from China, the world's top energy consumer, cast a shadow on the outlook for oil demand amid abundant global supplies.

Back home, the yields on new benchmark 8.40%- 2024 bonds were trading 1 basis point lower at 8.49% from its previous close of 8.50% on Friday.

The benchmark five-year interest rate swaps were trading 4 basis points lower at 7.96% from its previous close of 8.00% on Friday.   

The Reserve Bank of India has announced the auction of 91 and 364 days Government of India Treasury Bills for notified amount of Rs 7000 and Rs 5000 crore respectively. The auction will be conducted on September 17, 2014 using 'Multiple Price Auction' method.
