RBI Rejects All Bids in Treasury Bill Auction as Bond Yields Rise to 7.44%
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) rejected all bids in its recent auction of 91-day, 182-day, and 364-day Treasury bills totaling Rs 23,000 crore, despite receiving bids exceeding the notified amounts. This move reflects the RBI's reluctance to accept higher yields amid tightening banking liquidity influenced by GST outflows. The benchmark 10-year government bond yield rose to 7.44%, indicating pressure in the government securities market. The RBI also conducted variable rate repo auctions to manage liquidity amid these conditions.
