Bond yields tread water; dealers wait OMO announcement

27 May 2013 Evaluate

Bond yields were treading water as dealers have adopted a cautious approach to wait and see whether the RBI announces an OMO this week with the cash deficit expected to remain around Rs 1 trillion. The uptrend of the bond yield is also capped on account of assurance by a finance ministry official on open market operations. Meanwhile, Economic affairs secretary Arvind Mayaram said on May 24 the government didn't think the central bank had slowed the pace of its bond purchase programme.

On the global front, US Treasuries prices edged up on Friday as traders evaluated the likelihood of the US Federal Reserve pulling back on bond purchases this year and whether the recent selloff was overdone. Meanwhile, Brent crude slipped towards $102 per barrel on Monday, extending last week's 2 percent drop, as a weak economic outlook in a well-supplied market pressured prices.

Back home, the yields on 10-year 8.79% - 2021 bonds were trading flat at previous close of 7.35% on Friday, while the new 10-year paper is trading 1 basis point lower at 7.10% against its previous close of 7.11% on Friday.

The benchmark five-year interest rate swaps were trading 2 basis points lower at 6.74% from its previous close of 6.76% on Friday.

The Reserve Bank of India has announced the auction of 91 and 364 day Government of India Treasury Bills for notified amount of  Rs 7,000 crore and Rs 5000 crore respectively. The auction will be conducted on May 29, 2013 using 'Multiple Price Auction' method.
