India bond yields may ease tracking US peers; fresh cues eyed
By Bhakti Tambe
MUMBAI, Aug 19 (Reuters) -Indian government bond yields may ease in opening trade on Monday, tracking U.S. peers, amid lack of fresh directional cues.
The benchmark 10-year yield IN071034G=CC is likely to move between 6.85% and 6.89%, compared to its previous close of 6.8700%, a trader with a primary dealership said.
"Market has scaled back expectations of an aggressive easing by Federal Reserve so unless another set of data suggests otherwise, we may see rangebound movement in both U.S. and local bond yields in near term," the trader added.
U.S. Treasury yields eased on Friday, partly reversing the previous day's big gains as investors digested data showing a resilient U.S. consumer and inflation trending lower, leaving the Fed ample scope for a small interest rate cut next month.
A healthy U.S. retail sales data and a smaller-than-expected rise in weekly unemployment claims on the heels of benign inflation readings restored confidence in the economic picture last week.
Consequently, interest rate futures traders scaled back bets that the Fed would need to cut 50 basis points when it next meets in September. They now see a 74% chance of a 25 bps ease in the policy rate. FEDWATCH
Traders will, however, watch out for minutes from the latest policy meetings of Fed and Reserve Bank of India (RBI), due later in the week.
The RBI kept its key rate unchanged earlier this month, while maintaining its focus on bringing down inflation.
"We expect RBI to lag the Fed with respect to timing of rate cuts and domestic monetary policy will be more attuned to the trajectory of domestic inflation....We expect RBI to have some space for a shallow rate cut in Q4 FY25," said Prashant Pimple, fixed income CIO at Baroda BNP Paribas Mutual Fund.
