Bond yields ease tailing rupee’s gains

21 Feb 2014 Evaluate

Bond yields were trading lower tailing Rupee’s gains. However, the downtrend of the yields was restricted on account of mounting hopes of no Open Market Operations (OMOs) after central bank said that it would continue to infuse cash via term repos.

The Reserve Bank will conduct a 14 day term repo variable rate auction for a notified amount of Rs 39,000 crore on February 21, 2014 (Friday). The auction will be conducted as per the revised guidelines issued on February 13, 2014. Meanwhile, on the currency front, Indian rupee, after closing flat in previous session and making a gap-up start in early deals, was trading upbeat on Friday on increased dollar selling by banks and importers. Besides, positive domestic equity market also helped rupee to trade a shade higher, but the US currency's strength against other currencies overseas capped the gains to some extent

On the global front, U.S. Treasuries yields rose back to the higher end of their recent range on Thursday as traders reported an uptick in investors selling bonds and prepared for new Treasury supply next week. Meanwhile, Brent crude hovered above $110 a barrel on Friday, bolstered by supply disruptions in Africa, while U.S. oil is set for a sixth weekly rise buoyed by lower supplies at the contract's delivery point and strong heating demand in North America.

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 Thursday.

The benchmark five-year interest rate swaps were trading steady at its previous close of 8.45% on Thursday.
