Bond yields edge lower as US Treasury yields ease on subdued jobs data

05 Aug 2013 Evaluate

Bond yields dropped on Monday as traders cut bets after hoping that the U.S. Federal Reserve would not be tapering its stimulus any time soon as job data showed employers slowed their pace of hiring in July. Meanwhile, bond dealers are expecting that new issuance in 10-14 year segment as both 8.20 pc 2025 bond and 8.33 pc 2026 bond have reached their traditional issuance limit.

On the global front, U.S. Treasuries yields fell from two-year highs on Friday after weaker-than-expected U.S. job growth in July added to uncertainty over the timing of when the Federal Reserve is likely to pare back its bond purchase program. Meanwhile, Brent oil rose above $109 a barrel on Monday after promising China data, but prices may struggle to hold on to gains as risk premiums come off after Iran and the United States signalled a fresh will to end the dispute over Tehran's nuclear programme.

Back home, the yields on 10-year 7.16% - 2023 bonds were trading 11 basis points lower at 8.17% from its previous close of 8.28% on Friday.

The benchmark five-year interest rate swaps were trading 14 basis points lower at 8.30% from its previous close of 8.44% on Friday.
