Bond yields edged lower on Friday on account of safe-haven buying, which occurs when investors move funds from stocks to high-quality bonds during volatile markets.
In the global market, U.S. Treasury yields rose on Thursday, boosted by the prospect of more interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve next year, although those on long-dated bonds came off their highs after fairly tame consumer inflation data for November. Furthermore, oil prices edged up after market sources said Kuwait had told customers it was cutting supplies by more than initially expected from January as part of a coordinated effort by oil producers to drain a global glut.
Back home, the yields on new 10 year Government Stock were trading 8 basis points lower at 6.46% from its previous close of 6.54% on Thursday.
The benchmark five-year interest rates were trading 2 basis points lower at 6.53% from its previous close of 6.55% on Thursday.
