@ Rs. 150 b T-Bond auction details announced
RATES were seen holding broadly steady from the previous week’s closing.
Activity was observed at subdued levels as market participants adopted a wait-and-see approach amidst the prevailing uncertainty stemming from the Middle East conflict and an action-packed week with back-to-back Treasury Bill and Bond auctions.
Accordingly, the 15.09.27, 15.02.28 and 15.06.29 maturities traded at the rates of 11.00%, 11.75% and 12.05% respectively. The 01.08.30 maturity traded within the range of 12.12%-12.18% and the 15.10.30 maturity traded at the rate of 12.30%.
