RBI Partially Cancels Government Bond Auction to Manage Rising Yields
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) partially canceled an auction of a shorter-duration government security, accepting bids worth 45.06 billion rupees against a planned 110 billion rupees. This move aims to curb further rises in bond yields amid recent market pressures, including higher oil prices and expectations of a US Federal Reserve rate hike. The seven-year bond was sold at a slightly higher yield than expected, while a new 30-year bond's yield aligned with estimates. Market participants view this as an early signal on interest rate policy.
