Mumbai, Nov. 10

Bond prices fell by 15 paise on Monday, in a lacklustre market. Total traded volumes on the order matching system stood at Rs 3,145 crore. Prices went down as investors sold securities to take profits, said a dealer with a private bank. Liquidity was comfortable, with not many banks borrowing from the Reserve Bank of India.

The 8.24 per cent-10 year-2018 paper opened at Rs 103.89 (7.65 per cent YTM), which was also its day’s high. It closed at Rs 103.45 (7.71 per cent YTM), against the previous close of Rs 103.64 (7.69 per cent). The second highly traded security, 8.28 per cent-24 year-2032 paper opened at Rs 98.5 (8.42 per cent YTM) and closed at Rs 98.75 (8.40 per cent YTM). –
