Bond yields edge lower after govt reform measures

20 Oct 2014 Evaluate

Bond yields edged lower after government de-regulated diesel prices and increased gas prices, in a measure, which would help lower wholesale inflation and reduce government's fiscal subsidies. Modi-led government while de-regulating diesel prices, raised natural gas prices to $5.6 per unit from $4.2. The new gas price will be implemented from November 1 and will be revised every six months with the next revision being on April 1. However, the de-regulation of diesel prices would bring immediate relief in diesel prices by Rs 3.50 per litre.
