The Hindu Business Line : Bonds unchanged

Bond prices closed relatively flat on Thursday, due to slight easing of liquidity and on sentiments that bond yields had more or less peaked, said bond dealers. The market opened lower by 50 paise on account of rising oil prices, but recovered most of the losses during the day. The recovery was aided by the slight easing of liquidity as most banks had already covered their positions ahead of reporting Friday, said a dealer with a private bank. Total traded volumes on the order matching system were at Rs 3,630 crore (Rs 4,000 crore). The 8.24 per cent-10 year-2018 paper opened at Rs 92.65 (9.41 per cent YTM) and closed at Rs 93.17 (9.32 per cent YTM) against the previous close of Rs 93.14 per cent (9.32 per cent YTM). The second highly traded security, the 6.57 per cent-3 year-2011 paper opened at Rs 93.8 (9.34 per cent YTM) and closed at Rs 93.79 (9.34 per cent YTM).
