Bond yields traded lower on Wednesday, as India’s merchandise exports slipped 12.66% to $22.70 billion in August 2020 as compared to same period of last year, on account of fall in the shipments of petroleum, leather, engineering goods and gems and jewellery items.
In the global market, longer-term U.S. Treasury yields higher on Tuesday, steepening the yield curve, as equity markets rose while the Federal Reserve began a two-day meeting. Furthermore, oil prices rose, extending gains from the previous session, as a hurricane disrupted U.S. offshore oil and gas production and an industry report showed a big drop in U.S. crude stockpiles.
