Bond yields were trading lower on Friday as rating agency ICRA said capacity utilisation in India is expected to dip in the first quarter of current fiscal and is expected to gradually rise by the third quarter, and indicated that the economic recovery will be hurt by the Russia Ukraine tensions, however it will see recovery by the end of the year.
In global front, benchmark 10-year Treasury yields rose to near their highest levels of the year on Thursday after signs of strength in the U.S. job market outweighed an unexpected decline in economic growth in the first quarter. Furthermore, oil edged lower as China's COVID-19 lockdowns weighed on the outlook for crude demand, although supply disruption fears as Western sanctions curb crude and products exports from Russia underpinned prices.
Back home, the yields on new 10 year Government Stock were trading 2 basis points lower at 7.13% from its previous close of 7.15% on Thursday.
The benchmark five-year interest rates were trading 1 basis point lower at 6.66% from its previous close of 6.67% on Thursday.
