Bond yields edged lower, as S&P Global Ratings in its report titled 'Asia-Pacific losses near $3 trillion as balance sheet recession looms’ has said Indian economy is in deep trouble with growth expected to contract by 5 percent in this year before rebounding in 2021 on account of difficulties in containing the virus, an anemic policy response, and underlying vulnerabilities, especially across the financial sector.
In the global market, U.S. Treasury yields fell on Friday as continuing public health concerns prevailed over a rebound in consumer spending and sent traders into risk-off mode. Furthermore, oil prices slid for a second straight session as coronavirus cases rose in the United States and other places, leading countries to resume partial lockdowns that could hurt fuel demand.
Back home, the yields on new 10 year Government Stock were trading 1 basis point lower at 5.90% from its previous close of 5.91% on Friday.
The benchmark five-year interest rates were trading 3 basis points lower at 5.33% from its previous close of 5.36% on Friday.
