Good Morning Treasurers,
On this auspicious day, the Knight Research family wishes Happy Pongal and Happy Makar Sankrant to all the treasurers and their families.
This is your host Priyancka Mahore , AVP of Knight Fintech and you are listening to Knight Snippets.
Here is all what you need to know before going into trade for 14-Jan-2021.
International Market:
- Long-maturity Treasury yields dropped on Wednesday as investors digested the latest inflation data that showed a very small increase
- In US, the monthly CPI for December showed a rise of 0.4% which was inline
- With inflation genie remains bottled up for now, US treasury yields retreated from high
- US 10-year was down 5 bps closing at 1.10% and 30-year down 6 bps closing at 1.82% on Wednesday
- As we had repeatedly said, 1.25% mark is a solid resistance for US 10-year in the medium term and yields will be range-bound for sometime before it rises again
Crude Oil Market:
- Crude is at $55.95/bbl; range-bound markets
- Crude short term range: $54-57
Currency Market:
- Dollar index (DXY) is at: 90.28
- DXY today's range: 89.64 - 90.82
- It seems, the DXY is gaining strength and inching towards 91
- As we had informed you yesterday that, DXY moves are now becoming uncertain and DXY may gain some strength to reach 91
- USDCNY or Chinese yuan is at 6.47
- USDINR with a high of 73.23, closed at 73.15
- Again, USDINR will be range-bound
Domestic Market:
- The CPI 4.59% mark could not provide any boost to the sentiment
- After the initial gap up opening, the markets sold-off
- Major selling was seen from Mutual Funds and Foreign banks, the same group which had bought heavily at the start of the 2021 CY
- 5.15 GS 2025, closed at 5.26% Vs 5.19% the previous day
- 5.77 GS 2030, closed at 5.95% Vs 5.93% the previous day
- On the SDL side, our clients were able to offload 6.61 UP SDL 2031 at 6.59% and pocket 2 bps or 15 paisa or Rs. 75,000/lot
- The important OMOs are scheduled today in liquid papers and expect 10-15 paisa above the 10.30 traded price
- It is to be seen how RBI is taking this OMO aggressively. Any tepid response from RBI will elevate yields
- We will continue to remind you, Union Budget is coming and it may change the course of our treasury yields range forever
- Make sure you bring your act together before it is too late
That's it for today. You were listening to Knight Snippets with Priyancka Mahore from Knight Fintech.
