Bonds yields edge higher on Greece worry

29 Jun 2015 Evaluate

Bond yields edged higher as Greece looked set to default on its debt repayment this week, sparking concerns about foreign selling in emerging markets like India. Greece had closed its banks and imposed capital controls to check the growing strains on its crippled financial system, bringing the prospect of being forced out of the euro into plain sight. The weakness in rupee too has been weighing on the sentiment the domestic currency has extended losses for the fifth consecutive day on heavy dollar demand.

In the global markets, the benchmark U.S. Treasury yield dropped 17 basis points in early Asian trade on Monday as Greece staggered closer to defaulting on its debt repayment and Athens imposed capital controls on its banks. Furthermore, Oil prices fell in early Asian trade, with U.S. crude dropping below $59 after Greece imposed capital controls as lenders refused to extend the country's bailout.

Back home, the yields on 10 year Government Stock was trading 7 basis points higher at 7.89% from its previous close of 7.82% on Friday.

The benchmark five year yields were trading up by 9 basis points at 8.11% from its previous close of 8.02% on Friday. 

Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has cancelled three out of four government bond tranches being sold at its weekly auction on Friday, indicating the government's reluctance to borrow at higher yields. The only paper to sale in the auction was the 7.88 per cent 2030 paper. Those cancelled were the 7.35 per cent 2024, the 7.95 per cent 2032 and the 8.17 per cent 2044. It is expected that the demand for bonds in auctions would continue to be tepid till international issues, like the Greece bail out, are resolved.
