Bond yields trade higher on Friday

13 Mar 2020 Evaluate

Bond yields edged higher on Friday, as a private investment bank sharply cut its 2020-21 GDP growth forecast for India to 5.1% on fears around the coronavirus outbreak and also weak credit growth domestically.

In the global market, Longer-dated U.S. Treasury yields rose on Thursday after the New York Federal Reserve took dramatic steps to boost liquidity in the banking system, in an attempt to address liquidity concerns in the Treasury market. Furthermore, oil prices fell for a third day, with Brent crude set for its biggest weekly drop since 1991 and U.S. crude heading for the worst week since 2008 as panic about plunging demand from the coronavirus outbreak grips the market.

Back home, the yields on new 10 year Government Stock were trading 8 basis points higher at 6.31% from its previous close of 6.23% on Thursday.

The benchmark five-year interest rates were trading 21 basis points higher at 5.96% from its previous close of 5.75% on Thursday.
