Bond yields climb higher tracing overnight surge of US Treasury yields

09 Mar 2012 Evaluate

Bond yields edged higher as overnight surge of US treasury yields, soaring Brent crude prices and uncertainty over next week's liquidity tightness weighed on the sentiment. However, optimism over Reserve Bank of India's debt purchase infusing some more liquidity into the cash-crunched banking system placed a lid to the up move of the bond yields.

Rising oil prices have given rise to worries that the RBI may delay a rate cut and also push up the fuel subsidy burden of the government which can in turn increase its market borrowing in the next fiscal year starting in April.

On the global front, US Treasuries prices fell on Thursday as optimism that Greece will successfully put in place a bond swap to stave off a disorderly debt default encouraged investors to turn to riskier assets and away from safe-haven US government debt. US benchmark 10-year Treasury notes were trading 13/32 lower in price to yield 2.02 percent, up from 1.98 percent late Wednesday. Meanwhile, posting its sixth weekly gain in seven, Brent crude rose above $125 a barrel on Friday.

The yields on 10-year benchmark 8.79% - 2021 bonds were tad up at 8.25% from its previous close of 8.24% on Wednesday.

The benchmark five-year interest rate swaps were up at 7.44% from its previous close of 7.41% on Wednesday.

Consistent with the stance of monetary policy and based on the current assessment of prevailing and evolving liquidity conditions, the Reserve Bank has decided to conduct Open Market Operations by purchasing the following government securities for an aggregate amount of  Rs 12,000 crore on March 09, 2012.
