Bond yields traded lower on Monday with former chief economic adviser Arvind Virmani statement that the Indian economy is likely to contract in the range of 5-7.5 per cent this fiscal (FY21) but will see a growth of 9 to 11 per cent in FY 2021-22.
In the global market, U.S. Treasury yields fell on Friday after retail sales data came in below economists' expectations and following President-elect Joe Biden's proposed $1.9 trillion stimulus program. Furthermore, oil prices fell, extending losses that last week ended a rally driven by production cuts and strong Chinese demand, with the market's recovery outlook being called into question as coronavirus infections rise.
