Bond yields gain ahead of release of government's borrowing calendar

27 Mar 2012 Evaluate

Bond yields rose as traders lightened positions ahead of the release of government's borrowing calendar, later in the evening. However, bond yields also gained to the upside as the market feared a supply glut, when the government indeed announces a bulky April-September borrowing plan.

The expectation is that Indian government is likely to borrow between Rs 3.6 trillion and Rs 3.8 trillion ($70.18 billion to $74.07 billion) from the domestic market in the first half of the fiscal year that starts in April. The gross market borrowings by the government for 2012/13 have been set at Rs 5.7 trillion, higher than an expected Rs 5.3 trillion.

Meanwhile, US government debt prices fell on Monday on reduced bids for lower-risk Treasuries as worries about Europe eased, snapping a four-session winning streak ahead of this week's $99 billion in coupon supply. Meanwhile, Brent held steady above $125 on Tuesday as comments from the US Federal Reserve indicating easy monetary policy would remain in place for some time raised investors' appetite for riskier assets.

The yields on 10-year benchmark 8.79% - 2021 bonds were at 8.50% from the previous close of 8.47%.

The benchmark five-year interest rate swaps dropped to 7.55% from Monday's close of 7.53%.

The Reserve Bank of India has announced the auction of 182 and 91 day Government of India Treasury Bills for notified amount of Rs 4,000 crore and Rs 8,000 crore respectively. The auction will be conducted on March 28, 2012 using 'Multiple Price Auction' method.
