The latest RBI bulletin showed the Central Bank is focused on supporting economic growth and will look through supply side inflationary pressures. In terms of the auctions the sale will feature the benchmark 10-Year bond. The RBI will today sell INR 260bn consisting of INR 30bn 4.26% 2023 bonds, INR 140bn 6.1% 2031 bonds and INR 90bn 6.76% 2061 bonds.

South Korea said that 48.3% of the population have had the first vaccine, while 21.6% have been fully vaccinated.
  • CHINA: Futures in China lower, even as equity markets drop. 10-Year future down 6.5 ticks. the PBOC kept LPR rates on hold – there was an outside chance of a cut after some of the recent dovish PBOC moves, but state media telegraphed that the PBOC is unlikely to cut LPR rates in August. The PBOC matched maturities with injections, repo rates slightly higher but respecting recent ranges. Evergrande's bonds are under pressure but off worst levels, the firm said it would address its debt issues after the CBIRC issued a public reproach.
