| Sentiment: Cautious Trading in the money market was cautious on Thursday ahead of the inflation data to be released on Friday. Gilt prices across maturities ruled in the range of 5-10 paise. n The 10-year benchmark 7.37 per cent 2014 gilt closed at 6.11 per cent. The sentiment remained bullish with the RBI's rejection of bids at the 91-day T-bill auction on Wednesday which were mostly perceived to be market stabilisation scheme bids. The statements of RBI deputy governor also soothed the market. |
