Bond yields edge lower tailing lower crude oil prices

04 Feb 2015 Evaluate

Bond yields edged lower as oil prices slipped after a four-day rally on concerns over global demand and high stock levels. Meanwhile, the yields rose sharply in previous trading session after Reserve Bank of India (RBI), on much expected lines after effecting a 25 basis points rate cut outside its monetary policy cycle in Mid-January, left policy repo rate under the liquidity adjustment facility (LAF) unchanged at 7.75% in its sixth bi-monthly monetary policy review. Consequently, the reverse repo rate under the LAF stood unchanged to 6.75% and the marginal standing facility (MSF) rate, determined at a spread of 100 basis points above repo rate, stood at 8.75%, while bank rate also remains at 8.75%.

On the global front, US treasury yields jumped in a market rout on Tuesday as hopes Greece could strike a new deal and further recovery in oil prices took the safe haven shine off high rated government bonds. Meanwhile, oil prices fell on Wednesday as renewed concerns over global demand and high stock levels halted a rally that pushed up prices by about 19% over the past four trading sessions.

Back home, the yields on new 10 year Government Stock 2023 was trading 1 basis point lower at 7.72% from its previous close of 7.73% on Tuesday.

The benchmark five-year interest rate swaps were trading 2 basis points higher at 6.99% from its previous close of 6.97% on Tuesday.
