RBI Cancels 10-Year Bond Auction

INDIA

The RBI cancelled the 10-year auction on Friday, rejecting all bids for the paper and effectively drawing a line in the sand for yields. Following the auction yields fell to 6.09% from 6.17% pre-auction, most likely on reduced supply to the market, the sale was indicated at INR 140bn. The reduction, and a lower sale amount in 40-year maturity, meant only INR 113bn was bought to market against an originally announced INR 260bn. This was only the second sale of the fiscal year, and could indicate difficulty to complete the announced schedule.

  • Bonds are expected to be supported today with most bonds in the region higher on the general defensive tone, while the RBI's conversion offer could also help support the market.
