Bond yields edged higher on Wednesday as India's annual wholesale price-based inflation (WPI) eased to 12.41% year-on-year in August from 13.93% in the previous month. The number has remained in double digits for the 17th consecutive month.
In the global market, Treasury yields surged and a recession warning - the yield curve inversion - widened on Tuesday after monthly U.S consumer prices unexpectedly rose in August, signaling to the market that the Federal Reserve will crack down further on inflation. Furthermore, Oil prices inched higher in early trade as OPEC stuck to forecasts for robust global fuel demand growth, offsetting concerns of another U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate hike next week after consumer prices unexpectedly rose in August.
Back home, the yields on new 10 year Government Stock were trading 4 basis points higher at 7.14% from its previous close of 7.10% on Tuesday.
