Cost of Treasuries-Led Rout Seen as Global Bond Sales Falter
Bloomberg 3/4/2021 Enda Curran, Emily Barrett and Chester Yung
(Bloomberg) A string of poorly-received bond auctions in the past week is driving home a message the Treasuries-led global rout is leaving investors scarred and governments staring at higher borrowing costs.
U.S. yields resumed their rise Wednesday after a brief lull that followed a disastrous sale of seven-year Treasury notes last week. Sovereign bond offerings from Indonesia to Japan and Germany have drawn tepid demand and at least one sale was scrapped. The push for higher rates comes as central bankers attempt to ease investors’ discomfort over the pace of the recent rise.
On a consolidated basis, Coromandel International reported 26.2% jump in net profit to Rs 333.80 crore on a 7.8% increase in net sales to Rs 3533.01 crore in Q3 FY21 over Q3 FY20.
While the company s total expenditure rose 6.6% to Rs 3033.75 crore, interest payments declined by 55.3% to Rs 20.54 crore in Q3 December 2020 over Q3 December 2019. Profit before tax in the third quarter was at Rs 446.87 crore, up by 26.1% from Rs 354.42 crore reported in the same period last year.
