The yield on government bonds fell sharply on Tuesday, on the back of easing concerns over a possible US-led military action in Syria, drop in global oil prices as well as trade deficit in the April-August period.
The rupee rally also weighed positively on bond trading, treasury executives said.
The bond yield on 10-year benchmark (7.16 per cent 2023) eased to 8.47 per cent, down from 7.63 per cent on last Friday, according to data by Clearing Corporation of India.
