Mumbai, March 15

Bond prices dropped around 18 paise and yields rose by about three basis points on advance tax payments. "Around Rs 40,000 crore seem to have gone out of the system as advance tax outflows," said a dealer at a private bank. According to dealers, there was thin trading in the market. "The volumes were low and there was less participation as the financial year is coming to an end," said the dealer. Total traded volumes on the order matching system fell to Rs 1,070 crore (Rs 1,340 crore).

The 8.07-per cent 10-year 2017 paper opened at Rs 100.63 (7.98 per cent YTM) and closed at Rs 100.54 (7.99 per cent YTM) against the previous close of Rs 100.72 (7.96 per cent YTM) on Wednesday. The 7.37-per cent 7-year 2014 paper opened at Rs 96.59 (8 per cent YTM) and closed at Rs 96.35 (8.05 per cent YTM) against Rs 96.47 (8.03 per cent YTM) on Wednesday.
