Bond yields ease on safe haven buying

09 Apr 2012 Evaluate

Bond yields eased on Monday as global growth worries prompted buying in safer assets amid expectations that government’s spending would ease pressure on liquidity. However, debt sale of 91-day and 182-day bills on Wednesday, may limit the up move of the yields.

On the global front, US government debt prices surged on Friday, pushing yields to more than three-week lows after surprisingly weak job growth in March rekindled bets that the Federal Reserve would embark on another round of bond purchases to stimulate the economy. Growth concerns were reignited after data showed US employers hired far fewer workers in March than in previous months. Job growth in the world's biggest oil consumer slowed to 120,000, the Labor Department said on Friday, the smallest increase since October.

Meanwhile, Brent crude slipped more than $1 on Monday as Iran agreed to resume talks with top world powers this week on the country's nuclear programme.

Back on the home turf, the yields on 10-year benchmark 8.79% - 2021 bonds were trading lower at 8.64%, from its previous close of 8.69% on Wednesday.

The benchmark five-year interest rate swaps were trading lower at 7.53% against Wednesday’s close of 7.57%.

The Reserve Bank of India has announced the auction of 91-day and 182-day Government of India Treasury Bills for notified amount of  Rs 9,000 crore and Rs 5,000 crore respectively. The auction will be conducted on April 11, 2012 using 'Multiple Price Auction' method.
