Bond yields edged lower as fall in global crude oil prices and U.S. yields, supported sentiments. However, further fall of yields is unlikely ahead of GDP data on Friday and RBI policy review on Tuesday. Q2 GDP data is estimated to have grown at 5 per cent or even lower in the second quarter of 2014-15, sharply lower than the 5.7 per cent witnessed in the first quarter.
On the global front U.S. Treasuries yields fell on Tuesday, with long-dated ones hitting their lowest in over a month, after a strong auction of five-year notes and a single major bid for long-dated U.S. debt. Meanwhile, Oil prices dropped early on Wednesday as Asia's top economies showed signs of weakness, but hopes for output cuts by producer club OPEC curbed losses.

The benchmark five-year interest rate swaps were trading 1 basis point lower at 7.27% from its previous close of 7.28% on Tuesday.
