Bond yields tread water ahead of RBI’s OMO

25 May 2012 Evaluate

Bond yields were treading water, after easing in the previous session, as trader’s preferred staying on the sidelines to take clues from OMO’s cutoffs rate later in session. Bond yields edged lower in the previous session after state oil companies hiked the price of petrol by a whopping Rs 7.54 litre on Thursday, in a sign of fiscal discipline that might give a significant lift to the embattled rupee.

On the global front, US Treasury bond prices were treading water in Asia, ahead of three-day Memorial Day weekend, on Friday. Meanwhile, Brent crude futures although held steady at $106 a barrel on Friday, but appeared on track for a fourth weekly loss and the longest losing streak since early 2010, as investors turned jittery over signs of slowing global economic growth tainting oil demand.

Back home, the yields on 10-year benchmark 8.79% - 2021 bonds were trading flat from its previous close of 8.50%.

The benchmark five-year interest rate swaps were trading unchanged from its previous close at 7.48%.
