Primary Dealers Rescue 10-Year Sale, Bond Sentiment Negative

INDIA

Bonds are expected to come under pressure today, suffering from a hangover of a weak auction on Friday. Indian bonds fell on Friday after a weak auction, primary dealers were left to rescue the 6.10% 2031 sale taking INR 111bn of the INR 140bn on offer. The weakness at auction was surprising given that this is a new 10-year line. Other negative factors include crude prices staying high after rallying around 10% from lows hit at the start of last week.

  • Meanwhile there are reports that a minimum of three shadow lenders are seeking bids for local-currency bonds today with another in the pipeline tomorrow. This follows the best week for corporate issuance in over a month last week.
  • Elsewhere, US Secretary of State Blinken will arrive for a two-day visit of India on July 27 and will talk about containment of COVID-19 and recovery efforts as well as geopolitical issues.
