Bond yields edged lower on Wednesday on rising speculation that the Reserve Bank of India will lower its repo rate by 25 basis points to 6 percent in its next two-day bi-monthly monetary policy meeting. Also, investors are eyeing December consumer inflation due to be released on January 12.
In the global market, U.S. Treasury yields held steady on Tuesday as solid investor demand for $24 billion of three-year government notes offset mild selling in bonds after Wall Street stock prices pared early losses. Furthermore, oil prices edged up, lifted by a small supply cut by crude exporter Saudi Arabia, but markets remained under pressure from signs that the planned OPEC output reductions were being poorly implemented and as supplies from elsewhere rose.
Back home, the yields on new 10 year Government Stock were trading 1 basis point lower at 6.39% from its previous close of 6.40% on Tuesday.
The benchmark five-year interest rates were trading 1 basis point lower at 6.53% from its previous close of 6.54% on Tuesday.
