Bond yields ease tailing lower crude oil prices

03 Aug 2011 Evaluate

Bond yields eased on Wednesday as a sharp fall in U.S. Treasury yields overnight coupled with drop in global oil prices, gripped market sentiment. Meanwhile, the yields also edged lower due to the stable demand for debt amidst signs of slowing domestic growth. Further, the central bank chief said on Monday the country needs to raise interest rates to restrain inflation even at the cost of some sacrifice to growth, reinforcing expectations that more rate hikes are in the offing.

On the global front, however, the U.S. Treasury futures rose slightly in electronic trade after the world's largest economy's triple-A rating was confirmed by two key ratings agencies following Washington's last-gasp deal to avoid a debt default. U.S. crude fell to near a five-week low on Wednesday on concerns that demand may fall as the world's top oil user faces longer-term fiscal and economic challenges.

The yields on 10-year benchmark 7.80% - 2021 was trading lower at 8.41% as compared to previous close of 8.43% on Tuesday.

The benchmark five-year interest rate swaps were trading steady at 7.37% from its previous close of 7.43% on Tuesday.
