Bond yields edge lower on value buying

21 Mar 2014 Evaluate

Bond yields edged lower on value buying ahead of the first half borrowing calendar due to be released before the end of this month. Gains in the rupee are also supporting the sentiments for bonds and will be watched for intra-day cues. Further, Reserve Bank of India's announcement of a repurchase of government bonds worth Rs 5000 crore through a reverse auction on March 24, 2014 is also underpinning the sentiment. However, the uptick in US bond yields and global crude oil prices will limit any sharp gains in domestic bond prices.

On the global front, US 2-year Treasuries hovered near their highest in six months on Thursday, a day after Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen signalled the central bank might raise US interest rates sooner than expected. Meanwhile, Brent crude fell towards $106 per barrel on Friday, on track for a fourth weekly loss, weighed down by a stronger dollar and seasonal slump in demand, while fresh U.S. sanctions against Russia could inject a new risk premium into the market.

The yields on new 10 year Government Stock 2023 were trading 2 basis points lower at 8.80% from its previous close of 8.82% on Thursday.

The benchmark five-year interest rate swaps were trading 2 basis points lower at 8.48% from its previous close of 8.50% on Thursday.

Reserve Bank of India will conduct a 14-day term repo variable rate auction for a notified amount of Rs 40,000 crore on March 21, 2014. The reversal of the 14-day term repo will take place on April 4, 2014.
