Bond yields edge lower on more OMO’s hopes

08 May 2013 Evaluate

Bond yields edged lower on expectations the central bank would continue to buy debt via open market operations to ease the tight liquidity conditions. Liquidity crunch in the banking system could be sensed from the huge borrowings from RBI’s repo window.

The banks via Liquidity Adjustment Facility (LAF) borrowed Rs 103,610 crore through repo window on May 8, 2013; it borrowed Rs 101,460 crore via RBI’s window on May 7, 2013.

On the global front, Prices for US Treasuries slid for a third session on Tuesday after a three-year note sale brought few surprises, with the outlook for an economic recovery offset by the sluggish pace of US growth and government stimulus plans around the world. Meanwhile, Brent oil steadied above $104 a barrel on Wednesday, recovering from earlier losses after data from China showed crude imports by the world's No 2 consumer rose in April, although concerns over faltering global demand growth kept gains in check.

Back home, the yields on 10-year 8.79% - 2021 bonds were trading 1 basis point lower at 7.73% from its previous close of 7.74% on Tuesday.

The benchmark five-year interest rate swaps were trading 1 basis point higher at 6.96% from its previous close of 6.95% on Tuesday.
