Bond yields edged higher on Friday with the Reserve Bank’s Financial Stability Report (FSR) stating that the decline in bad assets of banks to a 12-year low of 2.8 per cent and strong GDP numbers will help in sustaining the growth momentum and withstanding global shocks.
In the global market, U.S. Treasury yields declined slightly on Thursday after economic data showed a continued, though moderate, slowdown in economic activity. Furthermore, Oil prices edged higher on Thursday as supply disruption risks from rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East helped to counter demand fears after a surprise build in US stockpiles.
