Bond yields edged lower on Friday, despite Moody’s Investors Service’s report that it has cut forecast for India’s 2019 (calendar) GDP growth by 60 bps to 5.6%, in what reflected a continuing trend of such downward revisions by prominent domestic and foreign agencies.
In the global market, US Treasury yields fell on Thursday as investors reassessed the likelihood that the United States and China are close to reaching a deal to de-escalate their trade war and as bonds retraced last week’s selloff, which was exaggerated by technical factors. Furthermore, Oil prices posted early gains as OPEC's outlook for oil demand next year fuelled hopes that the producer group and its associates will keep a lid on supply when they meet to discuss policy on output next month.
Back home, the yields on new 10 year Government Stock were trading 1 basis point lower at 6.51% from its previous close of 6.52% on Thursday.
The benchmark five-year interest rates were trading 2 basis points higher at 6.30% from its previous close of 6.28% on Thursday.
