Bond yields traded higher on Wednesday as moody's Investors Service said India, China and Indonesia will be the only G-20 emerging economies to post a strong enough pick up of real GDP in the second half of 2020, and retained its projection of 3.1 per cent growth contraction for India in 2020.
In the global market, longer-term U.S. Treasury yields were higher on Tuesday and a closely watched part of the yield curve steepened as investors moved into riskier assets on trade hopes and a solid auction of 2-year notes. Furthermore, the price of Brent crude oil edged higher, lifted by U.S. producers shutting most of their offshore output in the Gulf of Mexico ahead of Hurricane Laura and optimism over China-U.S. trade talks.
Back home, the yields on new 10 year Government Stock were trading 3 basis points higher at 6.18% from its previous close of 6.15% on Tuesday.
The benchmark five-year interest rates were trading 10 basis points higher at 5.53% from its previous close of 5.43% on Tuesday.
