Bond yields edged higher on Wednesday, as investors turned cautious ahead of the fourth quarter gross domestic product (GDP) numbers, slated to be announced later today.
In the global market, yields on most U.S. Treasury bonds and notes fell to their lowest levels in more than a week on Tuesday on month-end buying and after U.S. inflation data reinforced doubts that the Federal Reserve would raise interest rates more than one more time in 2017. Furthermore, Oil prices fell, as rising output from Libya added to concerns about increasing U.S. production which is undermining OPEC-led production cuts aimed at tightening the market.
Back home, the yields on new 10 year Government Stock were trading 1 basis point higher at 6.67% from its previous close of 6.66% on Tuesday.
The benchmark five-year interest rates were trading 1 basis point higher at 6.92% from its previous close of 6.91% on Tuesday.
