Bond yields treads water on Monday

06 Feb 2012 Evaluate

Bond yields were trading steady on Monday as traders’ awaited clarity from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) for its plans to buy bonds through open market operations (OMO) this week. There is expectation of a debt buy announcement through OMO because liquidity tightness remains despite the CRR (cash reserve ratio) cut. The central bank normally announces its OMOs on Tuesdays, after the market close.

On the global front, US Treasuries prices plunged on Friday as a surge in US payrolls surprised investors who had bought bonds aggressively last week after the Federal Reserve vowed to keep ultra-low interest rates until late 2014. While, Brent crude slipped towards $114 on Monday, weighed down by a stronger US dollar and the risk that a sovereign debt default by Greece could tip the euro zone in to a demand-sapping recession.

The yields on 10-year benchmark 8.79% - 2021 bonds were trading steady at its previous close of 8.16%.

The benchmark five-year interest rate swaps was up 3 basis points at 7.31% on Monday from its previous close of 7.28% on Friday.
