Bond yields edged higher on Tuesday as traders remained cautious reacting to the Wholesale Price Index (WPI) data. India’s WPI in the month of January 2017, rose to 5.25 percent as compared to 3.39 percent in the previous month on the back of rising fuel prices even as food and vegetable prices contracted during the month.
In the global market, U.S. Treasury yields rose on Monday as investors looked ahead to testimony by Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen on Tuesday and Wednesday and as record high stock markets reduced demand for bonds. Furthermore, pil rose, supported by an OPEC-led effort to cut output, but rising production elsewhere kept prices within the narrow range that has contained them so far this year.
