Bond yields spike up for second consecutive session on Friday

21 Jun 2013 Evaluate

Bond yields yet again rose for the second consecutive session on Friday, hit by fears that foreign investors would continue to sell debt after rupee weakened to record lows in the previous trading session despite RBI’s intervention and also as US Treasury yields surged. Meanwhile, the government today will be auctioning Rs 15,000 crore worth of debt.

On the global front, fears about the Federal Reserve buying fewer bonds later this year pummeled the US bond market on Thursday, pushing benchmark yields to the highest levels since August 2011, with few signs of when the month-long rout will end. Meanwhile, Brent futures held above $102 a barrel on Friday as the steep fall in the previous session gave investors an opportunity to buy, but a cross-market rout triggered by Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke's comments on winding down stimulus capped gains.

Back home, the yields on 10-year 7.16% - 2013 bonds were trading 3 basis points higher at 7.42% from its previous close of 7.39% on Thursday.

The benchmark five-year interest rate swaps were trading 4 basis points higher at 7.18% from its previous close of 7.14% on Thursday.

The Government of India have announced the sale (re-issue) of four dated securities for Rs 15,000 crore on June 21, 2013  (i) “7.28 percent Government Stock 2019” for a notified amount of Rs 3,000 crore (nominal) through price based auction; (ii) “7.16 percent Government Stock 2023” for a notified amount of Rs 6,000 crore (nominal) through price based auction;(iii) “8.97 percent Government Stock 2030” for a notified amount of Rs 3,000 crore (nominal) through price based auction, and (iv) “8.83 percent Government Stock 2041” for a notified amount of Rs 3,000 crore (nominal) through price based auction. The auctions will be conducted using uniform price method. The auctions will be conducted by the Reserve Bank of India, Fort, Mumbai on June 21, 2013(Friday).
