Bond yields edged lower on Wednesday despite Moody's Analytics in a recent report on the Asia Pacific (APAC) region said global oil prices are expected to fall to almost $70 per barrel by the end of 2024.
In the global market, U.S. Treasury yields edged higher on Tuesday on the back of encouraging data from American retail giants, which suggested the Federal Reserve has room to further tighten financial conditions as it battles four-decade-high inflation. Furthermore, oil prices rose, recovering from six-month lows hit the previous day, as a larger-than-expected drop in U.S. oil and gasoline stocks reminded investors that demand remains firm, if overshadowed by the prospect of a global recession.
Back home, the yields on new 10 year Government Stock were trading 10 basis points lower at 7.18% from its previous close of 7.28% on Friday.
The benchmark five-year interest rates were trading 9 basis points lower at 6.87% from its previous close of 6.96% on Friday.
