Bond yields trade higher on reduced risk appetite for emerging market assets

09 Mar 2015 Evaluate

Bond yields were trading higher on Monday as stronger than expected US jobs data that propped up treasury yields sapped demand for emerging market assets, including bonds, however lower oil prices limited the fall in yield.

On the global front, U.S. Treasury yields shot higher on Friday after data showed U.S. nonfarm payrolls beat expectations and the jobless rate fell to a more than 6-1/2-year low in February, bolstering the view that the Federal Reserve will consider hiking rates in June. Nonfarm payrolls rose 295,000 last month after an increase of 239,000 in January, the Labor Department said. The decline in the unemployment rate to 5.5 percent from 5.7 percent in January took it to its lowest level since May 2008. Meanwhile, Brent crude fell towards $59 a barrel on Monday as a promising U.S. jobs report pushed the dollar up, offsetting geopolitical tensions and the threat of output cuts in Libya and Iraq.

Back home, the yields on new 10 year Government Stock 2023 was trading 1 basis point higher at 7.72% from its previous close of 7.71% on Thursday.

The benchmark five-year interest rate swaps were trading 2 basis points higher at 7.11% from its previous close of 7.09% on Thursday.
