Mumbai, Nov. 30

Bond prices fell for the second day on profit booking. Total traded volumes on the order matching system were Rs 4,795 crore (Rs 5,600 crore). Dealers said that a correction was due as bond prices have only moved north this month. The 10-year yield on Thursday eased to 7.43 per cent from 7.67 per cent on November 3. Liquidity will be under pressure in December due to the Rs 9,000-crore government securities auction and advance tax outflows of around Rs 20,000 crore, said a dealer at a private bank.

The 7.59-10 year-2016 paper opened at Rs 101.20 (7.41 per cent YTM) and closed at Rs 101.07 (7.43 per cent YTM), down from Wednesday's Rs 101.28 (7.39 per cent YTM). The 8.07-11 year-2017 paper opened at Rs 104.68 (7.40 per cent YTM) and ended at Rs 104.57 (7.42 per cent YTM), lower than Wednesday's close at Rs 104.78 (7.39 per cent YTM).
