Bond yields traded marginally higher on Monday, even as the government data showed that contracting for the fifth straight month, India's exports slipped 10.21 per cent to $23.64 billion in July, on account of decline in the shipments of petroleum, leather and gems and jewellery items.
In the global market, Benchmark U.S. Treasury yields dropped from seven-week highs on Friday but remained relatively elevated after the Treasury on Thursday completed $112 billion in record coupon-bearing supply that has put pressure on bonds all week. Furthermore, Oil prices climbed higher, lifted by China's plans to ship in large volumes of U.S. crude in August and September, outweighing concerns over a slowdown in demand recovery after the coronavirus pandemic and an uptick in supplies.
Back home, the yields on new 10 year Government Stock were trading 1 basis point higher at 5.97% from its previous close of 5.96% on Friday.
The benchmark five-year interest rates were trading flat with its previous close of 5.23% on Friday.
