Bond yields trade lower on Friday

27 Mar 2020 Evaluate

Bond yields edged lower on Friday, as the severe dent in the economic activity due to the coronavirus pandemic led rating agency Crisil to sharply cut its growth estimate for India to 3.5% for FY21. Also, SBI Research's Ecowrap report stated that the country's economic growth is likely to fall sharply to 2.6% in 2020-21 due to lockdown amid the coronavirus pandemic.

In the global market, U.S. Treasury yields slipped on Thursday, with the short-dated slipping further to record lows, trading below zero for the second day after a report showing weekly jobless claims surged to a record because of the impact of coronavirus on the economy. Furthermore, oil prices rose after world leaders promised a massive injection of funds to limit the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic, despite fears the outbreak will destroy demand for oil.

Back home, the yields on new 10 year Government Stock were trading 8 basis points lower at 6.14% from its previous close of 6.22% on Thursday.

The benchmark five-year interest rates were trading 33 basis points lower at 5.62% from its previous close of 5.95% on Thursday.
