Sentiment: Bearish Liquidity concerns marred the market sentiment even as there was buying in papers of long-term maturity.
While primary dealers were seen selling papers in the medium maturity, while banks bought in the long-end expecting a fall in yields.
The yield on the 10-year paper closed at 7.5950 per cent.
Even as the RBI absorbed around Rs 19,955 crore from the market, the call rates ruled higher in the range of 6.50-60 per cent.
The cutoff yield on the 91-day t-bill closed eight basis point higher at 6.60 per cent against 6.52 per cent last week owing to liquidity concerns.
The 364 day t-bill was auctioned at a cut-off two basis point lower than last week. |
