Bond yields edged lower tracing the overnight fall in global crude oil prices. However, the yields are trading in narrow range as investors are waiting to watch out the auction demand and cut-offs at the first debt sale in the new fiscal year on April 5, 2013, crucial for giving near-term direction.
The Government of India have announced the sale (re-issue) of four dated securities for Rs 15,000 crore on April 5, 2013, which includes (i) “8.12 percent Government Stock 2020” for a notified amount of Rs 4,000 crore (nominal) through price based auction; (ii) “8.33 percent Government Stock 2026” for a notified amount of Rs 6,000 crore (nominal) through price based auction; and (iii) “8.32 percent Government Stock 2032” for a notified amount of Rs 2,000 crore (nominal) through price based auction, (iv) “8.30 percent Government Stock 2042” for a notified amount of Rs 3,000 crore (nominal) through price based auction.
On the global front, US 10-year Treasury yield hovered near a three-month low in Asian trade on Thursday, after tepid private sector jobs data dampened hopes for strong numbers from Friday's labour market report. Meanwhile, Brent crude edged up above $107 on Thursday after its biggest fall in five months in the previous session, but prices stayed close to this year's low, as weak data and swelling inventories in top consumer the United States muddied the demand outlook.
Back home, the yields on 10-year 8.79% - 2021 bonds were trading 2 basis points lower at 7.94% from its previous close of 7.96% on Wednesday.
