RBI Launches Reverse Repo Auction Amid Record Liquidity and Global Market Uncertainties
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) initiated a 30-day variable rate reverse repo auction worth around Rs 7 trillion to manage a record liquidity surplus exceeding Rs 10 trillion in the banking system. Indian government bonds opened slightly higher but gains remain limited due to elevated oil prices near $97 per barrel and global uncertainties, including US-Iran tensions and expectations of a US Federal Reserve rate hike. A technical glitch caused a muted response to the cash withdrawal operation, prompting the RBI to announce an additional overnight auction to absorb excess liquidity.
