Bond yields were trading lower on Wednesday tracking multi-year low oil prices and fall in US treasury yields. The yields were also trading lower on the back of rupee’s momentum, which recouping all its early losses, was holding strong on sustained dollar sales by corporates and state-run banks.
On the global front, long-dated U.S. Treasury prices jumped on Tuesday, pushing 30-year yields near record lows as worries about tumbling oil prices and weak global growth pushed investors toward safer government debt. Meanwhile, oil prices remained near five-and-a-half year lows in early Asian trading on Wednesday after prices saw yet more heavy falls in the previous session.
Back home, the yields on new 10 year Government Stock 2023 was trading 3 basis points lower at 7.87% from its previous close of 7.90% on Tuesday.
The benchmark five-year interest rate swaps were trading 5 basis points lower at 7.15% from its previous close of 7.20% on Tuesday.
