Bond yields were trading higher on Friday as Finance Ministry in its latest monthly economic review for January 2023 has stated that the Indian economy is estimated to grow by 7 per cent year-on-year in the current fiscal (FY23) despite the global economy operating under an extremely challenging macroeconomic environment like the geopolitical tensions in Europe, spiralling energy, food and fertiliser prices, monetary tightening and inflationary trends having elevated the downside risks to the global economic outlook.
In the global market, U.S. Treasury yields fell Thursday as investors digested the latest Federal Reserve meeting minutes and considered the outlook for the central bank’s interest rate policy. Furthermore, oil prices settled up on Thursday on expectations of steep cuts to Russian production next month, but a stronger dollar and a sharper-than-expected jump in U.S. inventories added to demand concerns.
Back home, the yields on new 10 year Government Stock were trading 1 basis point higher at 7.40% from its previous close of 7.39% on Thursday.
The benchmark five-year interest rates were trading 5 basis points higher at 7.44% from its previous close of 7.39% on Thursday.
