Sentiment: Bullish Following demand for SLR papers, prices of government securities moved up across maturities.
While the papers in the long-end of the maturity went up by 35-40 paise, the short and medium term segment rallied by 15-30 paise.
The yield on the 10-year paper closed at 7.61 per cent.
Call rates ruled around 6.40-6.50 per cent with the RBI absorbing around Rs 23,000 crore from the market.
Even as the auction announcement was in line with the market expectation, the rising US yields weighed on the market sentiment. |
