Bond yields traded lower on Monday, as domestic rating agency CARE Ratings has said India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is likely to see a sharper contraction of 8-8.2 percent in the current financial year (FY21) under the assumption of there being no fiscal stimulus from the government.
In the global market, Bond yields fell on Friday after the U.S. Treasury on Thursday completed $108 billion in supply this week, and as investors remained doubtful that inflation will increase much even as consumer prices rose more than expected in August. Furthermore, oil prices were mixed with U.S. crude rising as a tropical storm in the Gulf of Mexico forced rigs to shut down, but the gains were kept in check by wider concerns about excess supply and falling demand for fuels.
Back home, the yields on new 10 year Government Stock were trading 1 basis point lower at 6.03% from its previous close of 6.04% on Friday.
The benchmark five-year interest rates were trading 3 basis points lower at 5.47% from its previous close of 5.50% on Friday.
