RBI's Liquidity Withdrawal Supports Indian Bonds Amid Global Market Pressures
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has initiated a 30-day variable rate reverse repo auction worth 7 trillion rupees to manage surplus liquidity in the banking system, which recently exceeded 10 trillion rupees. This move is expected to support some gains in Indian government bonds, with the 10-year benchmark yield opening slightly lower at around 6.95%. However, elevated global factors such as rising Brent crude prices near $97 per barrel due to US-Iran tensions and expectations of a US Federal Reserve rate hike may limit bond market gains.
