Bond yields trade rangebound on Monday

30 May 2011 Evaluate

Bond yields were trading range bound reflecting investor nervousness over monetary tightening in a bid to rein in stubbornly high inflation. Trade was also pretty range bound as traders await details of the securities for a Rs 12,000 crore auction this week, which will be announced after market hours on Monday and traders are hoping the 8.13 percent, 2022 will be among them. Meanwhile, the US treasury debt prices were steady to lower on Friday with mild profit-taking from a six-week rally that has sent yields to six-month lows and looks set to keep running.

Back home, the yields on 10-year benchmark; the 7.80%-2021 which ended at 8.46% on Friday, were trading down by 1 basis points at 8.45%.

The benchmark five-year interest rate swaps were trading lower at 8.15% from its Friday’s close at 8.17%.

The Reserve Bank of India has announced the auction of 91-day  and 364-day Government of India Treasury Bills for notified amount of  Rs 8,000 crore and Rs 3000 crore respectively. The auction will be conducted on June 1, 2011 using 'Multiple Price Auction' method.
