The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas’ (BSP) one-month securities fetched a lower average yield on Friday as the offer attracted strong demand.

The 28-day BSP bills fetched bids amounting to P137.421 billion on Friday, exceeding the P90 billion on offer and the P101.405 billion in tenders the prior week. The central bank made a full award of its offering.

Accepted yields for the tenor ranged from 4.9% to 4.99%, wider and lower than the 4.95% to 5.05% band logged a week ago. This caused the weighted average accepted rate of the 28-day papers to decline by 6.45 basis points to 4.9461% from 5.0106%.
