Money & Banking - Govt Bonds
Bond prices rise, yields fall

Mumbai, Dec 28

After being thinly traded for the past few days, the bond market on Friday witnessed huge volumes. The prices went up by 16 paise and the yields fell by three basis points in anticipation of surplus cash into the system thereby easing the liquidity condition. Dealers said that the market was expecting good cash flows in the first week of January on account of government spending and by way of the special deposit scheme. "Though the geo-political conditions were a cause of concern, the market took positive cues in anticipation of good liquidity in the system," said a dealer at a private bank. The total traded volumes on the order matching system were at Rs 10,940 crore. The 7.99 per cent 10-year-2017 paper opened at Rs 101.10 (7.82 per cent YTM) and closed at Rs 101.16 (7.81 per cent YTM), against the previous close of Rs 101 (7.84 per cent YTM). The 8.33 per cent-2036 paper opened at Rs 101.25 (8.21 per cent YTM) and closed at Rs 101.84 (8.16 per cent YTM), against the previous close of Rs 101.37 (8.20 per cent YTM). - Our Bureau
