Demand for debt sale to guide Indian bonds before RBI minutes
Live MintBy Dharamraj Dhutia MUMBAI, Feb 21 - Indian government bond yields were largely unchanged on Friday as market participants awaited the outcome of the weekly debt auction and the minutes of the central bank's latest policy meeting. New Delhi aims to raise 340 billion rupees in its penultimate debt sale for the current financial year that ends in March. On Thursday, the Reserve Bank of India bought 400 billion rupees of bonds, but this included only about 41 billion rupees of the benchmark security, lower than the market's estimate of 50-70 billion rupees. Over the last five weeks, the RBI bought 1 trillion rupees of bonds via auctions, 388.15 billion rupees through secondary market purchases, and infused around 440 billion rupees through a dollar/rupee buy/sell swap.
