India bond traders eye US data, RBI liquidity operation for cues
MUMBAI: Indian government bond yields were largely unchanged in early deals on Thursday, as market participants awaited crucial US jobs data after market hours and measures from the local central bank in response to a widening banking liquidity surplus. The yield on the benchmark 10-year bond was at 6.2830% as of 9:45 a.m. IST, after closing at 6.2892% in the previous session. The five-year 6.75% 2029 bond was at 5.9492% after ending at 5.9522% on Wednesday. 'It is just a wait-and-watch game for today, before an eventful Friday,' a trader with a primary dealership said. The US nonfarm payroll data for June is due later in the day, and a weaker reading would boost chances of a faster pace of rate cuts from the Federal Reserve. Currently, there is a 27% probability that the Fed will reduce rates at the end of this month, according to the CME FedWatch tool, while the market has fully priced in a 25 basis point cut in September. The odds of a rate cut in July increased after US private payrolls unexpectedly fell in June. Traders remain focused on the Reserve Bank of India's liquidity management policy, after it withdrew 850 billion rupees from the banking system through an operation that is due to mature on Friday. A follow-up announcement is expected after market hours, with the spotlight on whether the RBI chooses to increase the quantum of withdrawal amid a rising liquidity surplus and a plunge in overnight rates. New Delhi will sell 320 billion rupees ($3.7 billion) of bonds on Friday, with the supply of longer-term notes likely to challenge investor appetite.

'Sentiment has turned positive after Trump announced an agreement with Vietnam as it signalled an eagerness to strike further trade deals,' said Mandar Bhojane, research analyst at Choice Broking. However, analysts flagged the likelihood of bouts of profit booking in the near future. Twelve of the 13 major sectoral indexes gained. The auto index led with a 1.1% rise, while small- and mid-cap indexes and rose 0.5% each. Heavyweights HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank rose 0.7% and 1%, respectively.

US, India push for trade pact after Trump strikes deal with Vietnam, sources say
WASHINGTON/NEW DELHI: US and India trade negotiators were pushing on Wednesday to try to land a tariff-reducing deal ahead of President Donald Trump's July 9 negotiating deadline, but disagreements over US dairy and agriculture remained unresolved, sources familiar with the talks said. The push comes as Trump announced an agreement with Vietnam that cuts US tariffs on many Vietnamese goods to 20% from his previously threatened 46%. Trump said that US products could enter Vietnam duty free, but details were scant. Trump threatened a 26% duty on Indian goods as part of his April 2 'Liberation Day' reciprocal tariffs, which were temporarily lowered to 10% to buy time for negotiations. Sources in India's commerce ministry said that a trade delegation from India was still in Washington a week after arriving for talks that started last Thursday and Friday. They may stay longer to conclude a deal, but without compromising on key agricultural and dairy issues, the sources said, adding that it was unacceptable to lower tariffs on genetically modified corn, soybeans, rice and wheat grown in the US. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government 'doesn't want to be seen as surrendering the interests of farmers - a strong political group in the country,' one of the sources said. However, India is open to lowering tariffs on walnuts, cranberries and other fruits, along with medical devices, autos and energy products, the source said. A U.S. source familiar with the talks said that there were 'indications that they are close' and negotiators have been told to prepare for a potential announcement. The source added that 'there's been intense and constructive effort to close a deal. I think both sides understand the strategic importance, beyond the economic importance, of closing a deal.' Trump echoed those sentiments on Tuesday, telling reporters on Air Force One that he could reach a deal with India that would cut tariffs for both countries and help American companies compete in India's market of 1.4 billion consumers. At the same time, Trump cast doubt on a potential deal with Japan, saying he may impose a tariff of 30% or 35% on Japanese goods, well above the 24% duty rate he announced on April 2. Japan is seeking to lower separate 25% automotive and steel tariffs that Trump imposed. India to finalise interim trade deal with US as early as this week, FT reports Spokespersons for the US Trade Representative's office, the Commerce Department and the U.S. Treasury did not respond to request for comment on the state of trade negotiations with India and other countries. A spokesperson for India's embassy in Washington did not respond immediately to a request for comment.
