Indian Debt Market G-sec yields eased during the week as geopolitical concerns in Iraq eased and global crude

oil prices came down, which saw investors and traders built GSec positions ahead of the

budget week. The ten year benchmark closed the week at 8.66% as against 8.75% in the

previous week.

Sentiment was also boosted by news flow around a possible reallocation of FII government

debt investment limits from the currently underutilized portion in the segment reserved for

long term investors to the almost fully utilized general FII limit segment. If this increase in

limit materializes, it can attract greater FII inflows, especially if the measures in the budget

play out as anticipated.

Fall in crude oil prices and hope of better monsoons going forward also aided the positive

sentiments in the market.

Liquidity in the system was very easy during the week with overnight rates trading below the

repo rate most part of the week.
