Bond yields edged lower on Rupee strength

04 Jul 2013 Evaluate

Bond yields edged lower mainly on account of Rupee’s strength against dollar amidst improved cash conditions. Speculation that Unilever Plc will bring in capital to complete a $5.4 billion open offer to boost ownership of its Indian unit, mainly aided the local currency to snap its three sessions’ depreciating streak.

On the global front, US Treasuries prices fell on Wednesday in a shortened pre-holiday session with investors awaiting labor market data on Friday that could help shed more light on the Fed's bond buying program. Meanwhile, Brent crude slipped from a two-week high on Thursday as the threat of a disruption in supplies from the Middle East eased after Egypt's armed forces toppled the country's president to force a resolution to a political crisis there.

Back home, the yields on 10-year 7.16% - 2013 bonds were trading 2 basis points lower at 7.48% from its previous close of 7.50% on Wednesday.

The benchmark five-year interest rate swaps were trading unchanged at its previous close of 7.51% on Wednesday.
