Bond yields edged higher on Thursday, tracking a rise in U.S. treasury yields. Since the start of this month, the 10-year US generic bond yield has risen by 35 basis points so far this month, while foreign institutional investors have been net sellers in Indian debt by Rs 3,842 crore. The rise in oil prices, worries over poor monsoon impacting inflation and volatility in global markets are all hurting local bonds. Moreover, investors remained cautious ahead of Index of Industrial Production (IIP) data for April and Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for May scheduled to be released tomorrow.
In the global markets, the selloff in German Bonds and this week's hefty corporate and government debt supply propelled longer-dated U.S. Treasuries yields to their highest in more than seven months before yields pulled back following a solid 10-year note sale. Furthermore, Oil prices rose solidly for a second day in a row after US data showed declines in crude and gasoline inventories.
Back home, the yields on 10 year Government Stock was trading 3 basis points higher at 7.85% from its previous close of 7.82% on Wednesday.
The benchmark five year yields were trading up by 3 basis points at 8.06% from its previous close of 8.03% on Wednesday.
