Bond yields traded higher on Friday, as a weekly auction today will boost supply in the debt market. Lack of clarity from the central bank to tackle concerns of excess supply will also weigh on appetite.
In the global market, U.S. Treasury yields dipped on Thursday, but were off earlier lows as traders weighed signs of a resurgence in the coronavirus against a round of economic data suggesting the worst of the lockdown-induced damage could be over. Furthermore, oil prices rose, extending gains from the previous day on optimism about recovering fuel demand worldwide, despite a surge in coronavirus infections in some U.S. states and indications of a revival in U.S. crude production.
