Mumbai, June 26

Bond prices fell by 15-20 paise on profit booking by traders. The yields went up by two basis points. "Liquidity condition was tight, the inter-bank call rates rose to the highest this month raising concern among market players that surplus cash with banks will diminish," said a dealer with a private bank. The yield on the 10-year-paper ended at 8.2 per cent against the previous close of 8.18 per cent.

The total traded volumes on the order matching system were Rs 3,780 crore (Rs 3,830 crore). The 7.49 per cent-10-year-2017 paper opened at Rs 95.55 (8.16 per cent YTM) and closed at Rs 95.24 (8.2 per cent YTM) against Monday's close of Rs 95.40 (8.18 per cent YTM). The 8.07 per cent 10-year-2017 paper opened at Rs 99.65 (8.12 per cent YTM) and closed at Rs 99.40 (8.16 per cent YTM) against the previous close of Rs 99.70 (8.11 per cent YTM).
