Bond yields edged higher, after the country’s fiscal deficit for the previous financial year was sharply higher than budgeted, raising concerns over additional borrowing, while economic growth crawled to multi-year lows.
In the global market, U.S. Treasury yields fell on Friday after President Donald Trump appeared to keep the trade deal between the United States and China intact, but said he would begin the process of eliminating special treatment for Hong Kong.
