Bond yields traded higher on Wednesday after Industry body CII's President Sumit Mazumder said that the economy is not doing as good as it was expected and the pace of reforms have slowed down. Investors failed to get relief from the report that Growth in India's services firms rose at its fastest pace in 10 months in December as demand picked up. The Nikkei/Markit Services Purchasing Managers' Index surged to 53.6 in December from November's 50.1, marking a sixth month above the 50-level that separates growth from contraction.
In the global market, U.S. Treasury yields rose on Tuesday as worries eased over global growth, leading traders to sell some safe-haven U.S. government debt, while caution ahead of Friday's U.S. jobs data kept yields in tight ranges. Furthermore, Oil prices edged higher, rebounding from near 11-year lows in the previous session as concerns over growing supply and rising stock levels outweighed tensions between key Middle East producers.
Back home, the yields on new 10 year Government Stock were trading 1 basis point higher at 7.74% from its previous close at 7.73% on Tuesday.
The benchmark five-year interest rates were trading 1 basis point higher at 7.69% from its previous close at 7.68% on Tuesday.
