Bond yields edge higher on Friday

04 Dec 2015 Evaluate

Bond yields edged higher tracking weakness in the rupee, which hit a more than two-year low against the greenback on strong demand for the American currency from banks and importers amid sustained capital outflows. Investors around the world turned increasingly jittery after the much awaited European Central Bank (ECB) stimulus failed to meet the street expectations. Besides, growing worries over the impact on India and other emerging markets as the US Federal Reserve gears up to raise interest rates for the first time in around a decade this month, also weighed on the sentiment. However, investor got some support as RBI planned infusion of liquidity into the system via term repo and open market operations (OMO) routes. The cental bank will conduct bond purchases of up to Rs 10,000 crore via open market operations (OMO) on December 7, 2015. The central bank will also conduct a 28-day variable term repo for Rs 25,000 crore to inject funds into the banking system.

On the global front, Yields on U.S. Treasuries jumped on Thursday, following rising European yields, after the latest round of stimulus from the European Central Bank disappointed investors and U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen made more comments that fueled expectations of an interest rate hike this month. Furthermore, U.S. crude oil prices extended gains, buoyed by a weaker dollar, ahead a closely watched OPEC meeting that is unlikely to alter the group's policy of maintaining high output.

Back home, the yields on new 10 year Government Stock were trading 3 basis points higher at 7.74% from its previous close at 7.71% on Thursday.

The benchmark five-year interest rates were trading 3 basis points higher at 7.76% from its previous close at 7.73% on Thursday.
