Bond yields traded higher on Thursday as India’s retail inflation eased to a seven-month low of 3.61% in February, down from 4.26% in January. The larger-than-expected fall in headline inflation to below the RBI's 4 percent target supports the view that the central bank will continue to loosen monetary policy over the coming months.
In the global market, U.S. Treasury yields were higher Wednesday, a sign of relief after a softer inflation report eased some concerns about the economy. Furthermore, oil prices rose 2% on Wednesday, as U.S. government data showed tighter-than-expected oil and fuel inventories, though investors kept an eye on mounting fears of a U.S. economic slowdown and the impact of tariffs on global economic growth.
Back home, the yields on new 10 year Government Stock were trading 12 basis points higher at 6.80% from its previous close of 6.68% on Wednesday.
The benchmark five-year interest rates were trading 11 basis points higher at 6.70% from its previous close of 6.59% on Wednesday.
