Bond yields traded higher despite ICRA’s report that state governments' deficit is seen in the range from 4.25 per cent up to 5.52 per cent of the gross state domestic product (GSDP) in the current fiscal.
In the global market, U.S. Treasury yields rose on Wednesday after the government sold $35 billion in 10-year notes to slightly soft demand, and ahead of a 30-year bond auction on Thursday. Furthermore, Oil futures fell, paring overnight gains, on worries about fuel demand after data showed U.S. crude stockpiles rose last week, rather than dropping as expected, and COVID-19 cases continued to rise around the world.
Back home, the yields on new 10 year Government Stock were trading 6 basis points higher at 6.04% from its previous close of 5.98% on Wednesday.
The benchmark five-year interest rates were trading 5 basis points higher at 5.48% from its previous close of 5.43% on Wednesday.
