Bond yields traded lower on Friday, as traders remain energized with International Monetary Fund (IMF) report that India has been one of the fastest growing large economies in the world, asserting that the country has carried out several key reforms in the last five years, but more needs to be done.
In the global market, the spread between the three-month Treasury bill yield and the 10-year note yield shrank to its narrowest level since August 2007 on Thursday in the wake of the Federal Reserve's decision to cease tightening monetary policy as the American economy shows signs of contraction. Furthermore, oil prices hovered close to 2019 peaks reached the previous day, propped up by supply cuts led by producer club OPEC and by US sanctions against Iran and Venezuela.
Back home, the yields on new 10 year Government Stock were trading 2 basis points lower at 7.49% from its previous close of 7.52% on Wednesday.
The benchmark five-year interest rates were trading flat at its previous close of 7.00% on Wednesday.
