Indian bond yields seen steady with focus on debt sale, US jobs data
By Dharamraj Dhutia
MUMBAI, Sept 6 (Reuters) -Indian government bond yields are expected to be largely unchanged on Friday as traders eye a weekly debt auction, with a rise ruled out as the decline in U.S. Treasury yields persists.
U.S. yields have fallen for three consecutive sessions, with a slew of weak economic data propping up chances of a deeper interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve later this month.
The benchmark 10-year yield IN071034G=CC is likely to move between 6.84% and 6.87% till the debt auction, compared with its previous close of 6.8554%, a trader with a private bank said.
"We should see some bullish bias, but the current moves are not strong enough lead to a breach of the key 6.85% level in the benchmark bond, and is this has to happen, it will be only possible on Monday," the trader said.
New Delhi aims to raise 290 billion rupees ($3.45 billion) through sale of bonds, which includes 120 billion rupees of the liquid 15-year bonds.
U.S. Treasury yields fell on Thursday, and remained under pressure in Asian hours after jobs data showed employers added fewer jobs than anticipated in August.
Private payrolls increased by 99,000 jobs, the smallest gain since January 2021, after rising by a downwardly revised 111,000 in July, the ADP National Employment Report showed.
This data follows a weak manufacturing print and a steep drop in U.S. job openings in July.
Market participants now await the non-farm payrolls data due after Indian market hours, which most believe would be the deciding factor for the Fed to opt for a 25 or 50 basis points cut.
Markets are fully pricing in a rate cut of at least 25 bps at the Fed's meeting this month, with expectations for a 50 bps remaining above 40% from 30% earlier this week. FEDWATCH
