  • Apart from that the hike in policy repo rate by 50 basis points in line with market expectations and maintaining the status quo on banks’ cash reserve ratio, also plays a role in the volatility of the currency.
  • According to the Clearing Corporation of India (CCIL) data, at the open, the yield on the 10-year government bonds was 7.51% and closed the day at 7.49%.
  • The market had priced in the quantum of the repo rate hike, which in turn gave elevated levels of inflation. Bond yields are expected to move in a range for a certain period.
  • As of now during the current policy, the 10-year yield was broadly stable between 7.47 and 7.5%.
  • In near future, the yield could move up to 7.75-8% as the RBI moves towards the calibrated withdrawal of liquidity.
