Bond yields edge lower in range-bound trade; further slide capped

08 Jan 2014 Evaluate

Bond yields edged tad lower in a range-bound trade on Wednesday, tracking the overnight rise in U.S. Treasury prices. The trade remained range-bound as sentiment continues to remain cautious ahead of factory output data on Friday and key inflation data next week. Further, uptick of bond prices also is unlikely as profit-booking would emerge at higher levels.

On the global front, U.S. Treasury prices rose on Tuesday, with benchmark yields hovering near two-week lows, as traders brushed off a weak $30 billion auction of three-year notes, part of this week's $64 billion in coupon-bearing government debt. Meanwhile, brent crude held its ground above $107 per barrel on Wednesday, supported by new worries over Libyan supplies and expectations of another drop in U.S. crude inventories.

Back home, the yields on new 10 year Government Stock 2023 were trading 1 basis point lower at 8.78% from its previous close of 8.79% on Tuesday.

The benchmark five-year interest rate swaps were trading 1 basis point higher at 8.37% from its previous close of 8.36% on Tuesday.
