Bond yields soar ahead of RBI’s monetary policy review

30 Jul 2013 Evaluate

Bond yields rose higher after India’s central bank in its quarterly review of macroeconomic and monetary developments, highlighted that the priority for monetary policy now was to restore stability in the currency market, negating any chance of monetary policy easing, which could help boost Asia's third-largest economy, expanding at its slowest pace in a decade. Street is widely expecting the RBI to leave policy interest rates unchanged.

On the global front, U.S. Treasuries prices fell on Monday on selling by Wall Street dealers to lock in borrowing costs for corporate bonds they are underwriting ahead of this week's Federal Reserve policy meeting and U.S. employment report. Meanwhile, brent crude futures remained steady above $107 a barrel as investors looked to a Federal Reserve meeting for clues on the outlook for the U.S. monetary stimulus programme that has bolstered demand in the world's No.1 oil consumer.

Back home, the yields on 10-year 7.16% - 2023 bonds were trading 5 basis points higher at 8.18% from its previous close of 8.13% on Monday.

The benchmark five-year interest rate swaps rose 4 basis points higher to 8.34% from its previous close of 8.30% on Monday.
