Bond yields edge higher on prevailing caution ahead of IIP, CPI data

10 Dec 2013 Evaluate

Bond yields edged up as traders were reluctant of adding position ahead of factory output and CPI inflation data on Thursday, ahead of the central bank's monetary policy on December 18. On the macro-front, Indian factory output probably shrank in October, hurt mainly by key infrastructure industries cutting production for the first time in eight months. Meanwhile, CPI data is expected to show retail inflation remained elevated.

Further, jitters about the timing of the possible debt switch programme, first unveiled in the 2013/14 budget earlier this year, which will lead to supply of longer tenor paper, also led to the slide of bonds. As per reports, under the planned debt switch, the government will buy short dated debt maturing in fiscal years 2014/15, 2015/16 and 2016/17 and in turn sell longer-dated bonds to markets.

On the global front, U.S. Treasury prices rose on Monday, aided by two sets of Federal Reserve bond purchases, and then conceded most of those gains as traders focused on upcoming supply. Meanwhile, Brent crude hovered above $109 a barrel on Tuesday ahead of data from China that may reaffirm signs of stabilizing growth and fuel demand in the world's second largest oil consumer.

Back home, the new 10 year Government Stock 2023 were trading 1 basis point higher at 8.91% against its previous close of 8.90% on Monday.

The Reserve Bank of India has announced the auction of 364 and 91 days Government of India Treasury Bills for notified amount of Rs 6,000 crore each. The auction will be conducted on December 11, 2013 using 'Multiple Price Auction' method.
