Bond yields edged higher on Thursday with a private survey showing activity in India's dominant services industry gathered pace in October despite high inflationary pressures, underpinned by robust domestic demand, leading to the second fastest hiring pace in over three years. The S&P Global India services Purchasing Managers' Index (INPMIS=ECI) edged up to 55.1 in October from September's six-month low of 54.3, above the 50-mark that separates expansion from contraction for a fifteenth month.
In the global market, Treasury yields swung wildly Wednesday as traders tried to decipher the Federal Reserve’s message on its tightening path after the central bank approved another big rate hike. Furthermore, oil prices rose on Wednesday after industry data showed a surprise drop in US crude stocks, suggesting demand is holding up despite steep interest rate hikes dampening global growth.
Back home, the yields on new 10 year Government Stock were trading 7 basis points higher at 7.47% from its previous close of 7.40% on Wednesday.
The benchmark five-year interest rates were trading 7 basis points higher at 7.39% from its previous close of 7.32% on Wednesday.
