Bond yields traded lower on Friday after the annual consumer price inflation (CPI) edged up to 5.0 per cent in October, up for the third straight month, compared with 4.41 per cent a month ago. Besides, sentiment got a boost by the Fitch Ratings’ report which indicated that the Liberalisation of foreign direct investment (FDI) rules in 15 sectors is a significant structural macroeconomic reform that will support investment and real GDP growth over the long term.
In the global market, U.S. Treasuries prices slipped on Thursday as selling linked to more corporate supply and $16 billion of 30-year bonds was mitigated by some safe-haven demand spurred by a sharp decline on Wall Street. Furthermore, U.S. crude fell for the third session in a row on Friday to trade at the lowest in more than two months, as a relentless climb in oil stockpiles helped trigger a 10 percent drop in prices since the beginning of November.
Back home, the yields on new 10 year Government Stock were trading 2 basis points lower at 7.66% from its previous close at 7.68% on Tuesday.
The benchmark five-year interest rates were trading 2 basis points lower at 7.72% from its previous close at 7.74% on Tuesday.
