RBI Cancels Treasury Bill Auction Amid Elevated Yield Bids and Market Uncertainty
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) canceled its weekly auction of 182-day and 364-day Treasury bills worth ₹12,000 crore due to bids coming in at higher-than-expected yields. This move supported bond prices, with the 10-year government bond yield slightly declining. Market factors influencing this include elevated crude oil prices, US tariff concerns, and the government's high cash balance following a record RBI dividend. The RBI plans to auction 10-year government bonds alongside its upcoming monetary policy announcement.
