The move is aimed at easing the liquidity deficit that reached multi-year highs in the banking system last week.<\/p>\n<p>The auction witnessed significant participation from state-owned and private banks, who saw the OMO as an opportunity to offload old bonds at a profit, according to G-Sec traders.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Bond Purchases and Market Impact<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The RBI purchased bonds with maturities between 2033 and 2037, with cut-off prices ranging from \u20b9100.80 to \u20b9102.72. The largest transaction was a \u20b96,520 crore purchase of 7.18% 2037 bonds at \u20b9102.72 (yielding 6.85%).<\/p>\n<p>Due to a delay in publishing auction results, government securities market hours were extended till 5:30 PM, beyond the usual 5 PM closing. Traders reported that many booked significant profits by selling bonds from their held-to-maturity (HTM) portfolios.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe RBI’s decision to target 10-year and old 14-year papers was strategic,\u201d noted the head of treasury at a state-owned bank. “These bonds are part of HTM, available-for-sale (AFS), and fair value through profit and loss books, making them attractive for banks to offload.”<\/p>\n<p>The cut-off yield for the current 10-year benchmark bond (6.79% 2034) remained consistent with the secondary market, indicating that the RBI does not intend to distort yield levels. However, cut-off prices for other papers were lower than last traded prices, signaling substantial profit booking during the auction.<\/p>\n<p><em>Also read:<a href=\"https:\/\/cxoxperts.com\/mobikwik-launches-e%E2%82%B9-cbdc-wallet-with-upi-integration\/\"> MobiKwik Launches e\u20b9 CBDC Wallet with UPI Integration<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Liquidity Measures and Upcoming Auctions<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The RBI\u2019s liquidity package includes three OMO auctions, with the next ones scheduled for February 13 and February 20.

Interbank traders noted minimal fund demand due to government month-end spending and limited outflows.<\/p>\n<p>These measures are expected to alleviate liquidity pressures and ensure smooth functioning of the money and bond markets.
