Bond yields trade lower on Thursday

13 Feb 2020 Evaluate

Bond yields edged lower on Thursday amid weak macro economic data. India's retail inflation based on Consumer Price Index (CPI) spiked to 7.59 per cent for the month of January 2020 from 7.35 per cent in December 2019, due to costlier food products like vegetables, pulses and protein-rich items. Inflation in January is well above the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) medium-term target of 4 per cent for the fourth straight month. Meanwhile, Industrial production contracted by 0.3 per cent in December 2019 as against 2.5 per cent growth in same month a year ago, weighed by a decline in the manufacturing sector. The IIP growth during April-December period of the current fiscal decelerated to 0.5 per cent from 4.7 per cent expansion in the same period of 2018-19.

In the global market, U.S. Treasury yields rose on Wednesday amid renewed risk tolerance after a reported drop in the number of new coronavirus cases in China alleviated some concerns about economic growth. Furthermore, Oil prices rose for a third day on expectations that major producers are likely to enact deeper output cuts to offset the slump in demand caused by the coronavirus outbreak in China, the world's second-largest crude consumer.

Back home, the yields on new 10 year Government Stock were trading 2 basis points lower at 6.45% from its previous close of 6.47% on Wednesday.

The benchmark five-year interest rates were trading flat at its previous close of 5.97% on Wednesday.
