Bond yields traded higher on Monday, as India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) in its latest report has said that after years of enduring challenges, the non-banking finance companies (NBFCs) are finally set to witness a normalisation in FY23. The NBFCs will start FY23 with sufficient capital buffers, stable margins and sizable on-balance sheet provisioning, while adequate system liquidity would aid funding.
On the global front, U.S. Treasury yields eased from earlier highs on Friday after the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge rose more than expected in January, but the market's reaction was muted as uncertainty reigned due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Furthermore, crude oil jumped while the rouble plunged nearly 30% to a fresh record low after Western nations imposed new sanctions on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, including blocking some banks from the SWIFT international payments system.
Back home, the yields on new 10 year Government Stock traded 1 basis point higher at 6.75% from its previous close of 6.74% on Friday.
