Bond yields trade lower on Friday

20 Mar 2020 Evaluate

Bond yields edged lower on Friday, as Fitch Ratings cut India’s growth forecast to 5.1 per cent for FY 2020-21, saying the coronavirus outbreak is likely to hit business investment and exports. Fitch had in December 2019 projected India’s growth at 5.6 per cent for 2020-21 and 6.5 per cent in the following year.

In the global market, U.S. Treasury yields largely fell in volatile trading on Thursday as investors hurried to minimize risk in the face of the coronavirus pandemic, and the Fed poured liquidity into the financial system. Furthermore, U.S crude oil prices edged higher, extending gains after a 24% jump the previous day, buoyed by hints from U.S. President Donald Trump he may intervene in the price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia at an 'appropriate time.'

Back home, the yields on new 10 year Government Stock were trading 8 basis points lower at 6.33% from its previous close of 6.41% on Thursday.

The benchmark five-year interest rates were trading 11 basis points lower at 6.12% from its previous close of 6.23% on Thursday.
