Bond yields edged lower on Monday with report that expecting a major global recession due to the coronavirus pandemic, the World Bank said that its estimates suggest a much deeper economic downturn than the 2007-09 great recession. Rising coronavirus cases in India also is likely to impact investors’ sentiment.
In the global market, U.S. Treasury yields rose on Friday in choppy trading after the New York Federal Reserve announced a further decline in purchases of Treasuries next week as the market stabilizes after heavy central bank interventions last month. Furthermore, crude oil futures fell, with U.S. futures touching levels not seen since 1999, extending weakness on the back of sliding demand and concerns that U.S. storage facilities will soon fill to the brim amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Back home, the yields on new 10 year Government Stock were trading 14 basis points lower at 6.20% from its previous close of 6.34% on Friday.
The benchmark five-year interest rates were trading 20 basis points lower at 5.28% from its previous close of 5.48% on Friday.
