Bond yields edged higher on Thursday, as the Federal Reserve cut policy rate but appeared cautious in its commentary that dented hopes for aggressive rate cuts going ahead, which may impact the outlook for India’s policy easing.
In the global market, the margin between US short- and long-dated yields collapsed to its lowest level in over four months on Wednesday, as Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell tempered bets on more rate cuts after the central bank made the first cut since 2008. Furthermore, Oil prices fell more than $1, declining for the first time in six days, after the US Federal Reserve dampened hopes for a string of rate cuts and Sino-US trade talks ended without progress.
