Bond yields trade lower on Thursday

18 Feb 2016 Evaluate

Bond yields traded lower on Thursday on expectation that the government plan to buy back sovereign securities which will boost cash supply in the financial system and spur demand for existing debt. Sentiments remained up-beat after Moody's Investors Service said Indian economy will grow at 7.5% in 2016 and 2017 as it is relatively less exposed to external headwinds, like China slowdown, and will benefit from lower commodity prices.

In the global market, U.S. Treasury prices fell on Wednesday, with benchmark yields rising to their highest in 1-1/2 weeks, as gains in U.S. stocks and encouraging data on producer prices and factory production reduced the appeal of low-yielding bonds. Furthermore, Crude oil prices climbed in early Asia trade Thursday as traders viewed Iran's support for an agreement that other oil producers freeze their production a positive first step in stabilizing prices, even though Iran itself refuses to comply.

Back home, the yields on new 10 year Government Stock were trading 1 basis point lower at 7.77% from its previous close at 7.78% on Wednesday.

The benchmark five-year interest rates were trading flat from its previous close at 7.79% on Wednesday.
