Sovereign yields steady on lack of supply; SBI’s retail bond closes at 9.51%
Government securities
 Sovereign bond traded in a narrow with muted volumes for the second consecutive
day due to lack of any fresh triggers. The most liquid 8.13% 2022 bond saw some
buying interest as bank bought in order to meet their SLR requirements for the
financial year. The 11 Yr bond closed 2bps lower at 8.08% while the benchmark 10
Yr bond closed unchanged at 8.01%. With no fresh supply until April-11, sovereign
yields are likely to trade in a narrow range taking some cues from the weekly
inflation data.
Non-SLR market
 Retail investors participated in the Non-SLR market with the listing of SBI’s retail
bond today. SBI offered a high premium to retail investors as an incentive to
develop retail interest in the bond market. The 9.95% SBIN 2026 bond listed at a
premium 3% with total volume of INR 29bn.
 Short term rates rose marginally due to the persistently strong demand from
banks. Three month CDs were dealt at 10.20% while one year CDs were dealt at
10.18%. IDBI Bank placed INR 5.50bn of one year CD at 10.20% while Syndicate
Bank placed INR 3.85bn of one year CD at 10.18%. Vijaya Bank placed INR 3bn of
three month CD at 10.19% and INR 3.25bn of one year CD at the same level.
Money markets
 GoI short term borrowing cost rose marginally due to the strained liquidity
situation. At the weekly T-bill auction central bank set a cut off yield for the 91 day
T-bill at 7.31% compared to 7.23% a week ago, while the cut off yield for the 364
day T-bill was set 6bps higher at 7.64%. Call rates are likely to remain in the
7.55%-7.65% range until the end of the financial year due to the strong demand
from bank to meet their balance sheet targets.
