Reuters Market Eye - The benchmark 10-year bond yield falls 2 basis points to 9.00 percent on Tuesday, after the announcement of the new 10-year bonds. The benchmark bond, which was on a shut period on Monday, had closed at 9.02 percent on Thursday.

The Reserve Bank of India will sell 150 billion rupees of bonds on November 22, including a new issue of 10-year paper, it said in a statement on Monday.

"The new 10-year paper is expected at 8.75-80 percent so the entire curve is getting repriced," a trader with a primary dealership says.

The 8.28 percent, 2027 bond, which was the most actively traded bond on Monday in the absence of the benchmark, was trading down 7 bps at 9.02 percent.
