Bond yields traded lower on Wednesday, as India’s service sector remained sluggish in the month of July, with substantial reductions in both activity and inflows of new work were recorded, as ongoing lockdown restrictions stifled demand and forced companies to cease operations.
In the global market, the five-year Treasury yield hit a record low on Tuesday and the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield fell to a five-month bottom, indicating safe-haven demand from bond investors wary of a slow U.S. economic recovery. Furthermore, Oil prices fell for the first time in four days, pulling back from as much as five-month highs as mounting coronavirus cases worldwide and in the United States undercut market confidence in a pickup in fuel demand.
Back home, the yields on new 10 year Government Stock were trading 1 basis point lower at 5.82% from its previous close of 5.83% on Tuesday.
The benchmark five-year interest rates were trading 2 basis points lower at 4.98% from its previous close of 5.00% on Tuesday.
