| Sentiment: Bearish Despite abundant liquidity in the system, the government securities prices market remained rangebound in the band of 10 paise. After the announcement of the auction results, however, it fell by 20-30 paise across maturities so as to realign the gilt yields with the new auction cut-off yields. The yield on the ten-year paper closed at 8.16 per cent while during the day it was ruling around 8.14 per cent. Liquidity remained extremely comfortable with the call rates closing around 0.25/0.30 per cent.
