Debt Markets: The Indian debt markets witnessed yields moderating over the month of June. Factors that influenced the market sentiments negatively during the month included fear on expectation of aggressive response from the RBI due to weaker IIP numbers and higher WPI inflation, disappointment in the wake of policy rates that were kept unchanged by the RBI in the monetary policy review, lesser hope on further OMO operation and depreciation in rupee value. The other factors such as risk aversion in the overseas financial markets, fall in crude oil prices, a deteriorating outlook on global economy, improvement in liquidity and an increase in FII investment limit in domestic debt helped the market sentiments during the month. The RBI launched the new 10 Year benchmark G Sec and set cut off yield at 8.15%. The benchmark, ‘G Sec 8.15% GS 2022’ bond yield closed the month at 8.18%, down 20 bps over the month.

The banking system witnessed easing liquidity conditions over the course the month. The daily average LAF infusion during June was at Rs. 91,700 crore as compared to Rs. 98,975 crore in May. WPI Inflation for May 12 was at 7.55 % y-o-y as compared to 7.23% in Apr 12. In the Mid-Quarter Monetary Policy Review held on June 18, the Central Bank left all policy rates unchanged.

The yields of government securities are likely to trade in the same range or ease further given the improved liquidity condition in the system. Expectation on further OMO operations by the RBI (instead of cutting policy rates or CRR) will further support the liquidity.
