Bond yields traded marginally higher on Tuesday despite renewed U.S.-Iran tensions that pushed oil prices up. 

In the global market, crude oil rose on Tuesday as U.S. military operations in southern Iran and President Donald Trump’s mixed messaging on the negotiations between Tehran and Washington kept traders on edge.

Back home, the yields on new 10 year Government Stock were trading 01 basis point higher at 7.03% from its previous close of 7.02% on Monday.  

The benchmark five-year interest rates were trading 05 basis points higher at 6.90% from its previous close of 6.85% on Monday.
