Bond yields ebb on Monday; further losses limited ahead of CPI data, RBI’s OMO

13 Oct 2014 Evaluate

Bond yields were trading lower on Monday, tracking lower prices on brent crude and fall of long dated US treasury yields on Friday. However, further uptick of bonds was limited as traders await bond sale of Rs 10,000 crore via open market operations by the central bank and September CPI data later in the day. Reports suggest that India’s consumer price inflation has probably eased for second straight month in September at 7.20% against 7.80% in August, helped by lower food and fuel costs.

The Reserve Bank of India will conduct overnight reverse repo variable rate auction for a notified amount of Rs 20,000 crore today (October 13, 2014, Monday). The auction will be conducted as per the revised guidelines on Term Repo Auctions issued on February 13, 2014.

On the global front, U.S. long-dated Treasuries debt yields fell to the lowest levels in more than a year on Friday amidst lingering concerns over global economic growth, while short-dated yields edged lower on short-covering in the wake of the Federal Reserve meeting minutes published on Wednesday. Meanwhile, global oil futures lost more than a dollar on Monday after Saudi Arabia and Kuwait signalled ample supplies and their willingness to bear lower prices to defend market share, although better than expected trade data from China kept oil's losses in check.

Back home, the yields on new benchmark 8.40%- 2024 bonds were trading two basis points lower at 8.44% from its previous close of 8.46% on Friday.

The benchmark five-year interest rate swaps were trading 4 basis points lower at 7.67% from its previous close of 7.71% on Friday.

The Reserve Bank of India has announced the auction of 91 and 364 day Government of India Treasury Bills for notified amount of Rs 9000 crore and Rs 6000 crore respectively. The auction will be conducted on October 14, 2014 using 'Multiple Price Auction' method. This is in partial modification of T-Bill Calendar issued on September 26, 2014 as Government of Maharashtra has declared a public holiday on October 15, 2014 under the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881on account of Legislative Assembly Elections.
