Bond yields edged slightly lower on Friday as investors remained cautious ahead of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration later in the day.
In the global market, U.S. Treasury yields surged to two-week highs on Thursday after data showed solid economic growth, a day after Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen signaled further interest rate hikes are likely. Furthermore, U.S. oil climbed for a second day underpinned by expectations of tighter supply, but prices remained in a range as they were pressured by rising U.S. inventories.
